The FlashPCB Library
In order to get the most out of FlashPCB we highly recommend you design your
boards using our component library. We will only populate parts on
your board that use the FlashPCB library. This is because we rely on the library
to evaluate certain design rule checks. For instance, our library encodes rules
around courtyarding so that adjacent parts have sufficient space to function
properly and get assembled onto your board.
Do not edit the FlashPCB library; using entries from the FlashPCB library that
you have edited will cause your board to fail our design rule checks.
We are constantly improving the component library and adding new components. If
there are particular components you would like added to the library you can
request that particular components be added to our library.
FlashPCB only supports
Autodesk Eagle at this time. In the
future we plan to support more CAD programs.

Update Eagle's Library directories to recognize this library
This tutorial
explains how to update Eagle's settings so that you can use this library. The
tutorial explains how to use Sparkfun and Adafruit libraries but the process is
very similar for our library. Start at the section "Step 2 – Update Your EAGLE
Library Directory".
