Hi Everyone, im doing a project and need some advice if thats ok

Im designing a PCB on eaglecad and need to use a 28pin header. The header with the correct pitch is only 26 pin or 32 pin. How can I redesign the part so that it has a 28 pin header in the library? Is it a difficult and complicated processs?

Secondly, I will be interfacing a beagle board with an LCD so if anyone is able to provide me with some info on how to program that in c and how to use I2C it'd be great


thanks for the help, all the best

I don't use eagle exactly, but in KiCad it is pretty easy. I doubt there is really much difference. You open the footprint model for the 26pin model and modify it to have 28 pins then save as and it should be available for selection.

Have you checked youtube for any videos? I always seem to find good tutorials for software on that website.
