FIGURE 1-19 Extracting files straight into the EAGLE .lbr folder.
This will add about 17 .lbr files from LilyPad-Wearables.lbr to SparkFun-
Sensors.lbr to the .lbr directory. You can remove the README file once it has been
unzipped.
The installation for the Adafruit is a similar process. First navigate to
http://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Eagle-Library and again download using the zip option and unzip
the contents in the same way as you did the Sparkfun library. However, the Adafruit parts are all
contained in a single library rather than a collection. Thus you can, if you wish, just add the single
.lbr file rather than contain it in a folder.
To check that both sets of libraries have been installed, go back to your EAGLE Control Panel
and expand the “Libraries” tab. You should see a list something like Figure 1-20.

Installing the Sparkfun Design Rules
Design rules specify all sorts of things about the design, the gaps between pads and tracks, and other
things like that. Sparkfun has put together a useful default set of design rules that we will use in this
book, so it makes sense to install them now so that you can use them in any of the EAGLE projects
