DipTrace Wixel Model?

Robotics and electronics discussion Wireless and radio

I’m planning to integrate a Wixel into a robotics project, and plan to create a PCB to house the Wixel, a 5V LDO regulator, and a 1NA169 high-side current sensor. My EDA software of choice is DipTrace, so I’d like to know if you have a DipTrace model for the Wixel part?

TIA,

Frank

Well, I did find ‘wixel.lbr’ in the ‘Resources’ section for the Wixel, but it doesn’t appear to be a valid XML file. Am I missing something?

TIA,

Frank

OK, so I found a post that suggested that older .lbr files were in binary format, which this certainly seems to be. Can anyone please load this into Eagle and re-save it as a XML file?

TIA,

Frank

Never mind. Found a post that suggested that the FreeWare version of Eagle could be used to convert a binary .lbr to an XML on, and this turned out to indeed be the case. The attached converted .lbr works fine in DipTrace

Hello.

Unfortunately, we do not use DipTrace, so we do not have any resources specific to it, but I am glad you found a solution to your problem, and thank you for sharing it!
