EAGLE library part for Moteino?

Hello,

I'm designing a custom board and would like to mount a Moneino into it (my board would be the "motherboard" and the Moteino the "daughter board"). I am thinking about just using standard breakaway headers to accomplish this (male headers on the Moteino and female on the motherboard so I could swap Moteinos as necessary).

Does anyone have a EAGLE library part for Moteino? That would make it easier for me to place the Moteino on the PCB in EAGLE; I wouldn't have to worry about dimensions, etc.

There's similar library parts for Arduino shields in the Adafruit and SparkFun EAGLE libraries. I am looking for something similar but for the Moteino.

Thanks in advance!

Eloy Paris.-

P.S. Male breakaway headers are easy to cut to the right size. However, I still have not found female headers that can be easily cut. Any suggestions for a suitable part/provider of standard female breakaway headers that can be easily cut to specific size?

Also this post (https://lowpowerlab.com/forum/index.php/topic,934.msg5903.html#msg5903) has an eagle design using the wire pin version of the module library part which you can extract.

Darn; sorry about that... I did search before posting but I obviously did a poor job (perhaps I searched the General forum only instead of the Moteino forum).

In any case, thanks a lot for the quick response and for those library parts; I'll give them a try.

P.S. How did the finished PCB turned out; did everything go well and you had no issues with the Moteino modules?

No problem.  I'll agree that the search engine on this forum sorta sucks (without the 'sorta').

I've made several PCBs using this library and this component, at least, was error free.  The latest version of the square pin part would be in the DC Controller posting I made a couple of days ago.
