Input a micro controller into Eagle circuit 6.2.0 light

AI Thread Summary
To integrate the ATMEGA168A-PU microcontroller into Eagle 6.2.0 Light, users may need to create a custom library as the specific component is not readily available. A generic 40-pin DIP footprint can be utilized, which requires manual wiring from the schematic to the PCB footprint. Users are encouraged to refer to Eagle's tutorials for guidance on creating and managing components. The process may involve some trial and error, but resources are available to assist. Overall, creating a custom footprint and wiring it correctly is essential for successful integration.

I'm trying to pull in an ATMEGA168A-PU Atmel 8 Bit 16K AVR Microcontroller into Eagle and have looked through the libraries provided through their website, does anyone know where i can find it or and equivalent controller?

You'll probably need to create your own. Should be a generic footprint for a 40-pin DIP (assuming that's what you have) that you can probably copy and use for your own (you still need to do the 'wiring' from the schematic part to the PCB footprint). Since it's been a while since I've used Eagle, and since they'd do a better job of it anyway, this is covered in the tutorial:

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
