Eagle library for PIC18F13K50?

I am trying to make a board using the PIC18F13K50 in SSOP format but am having trouble getting a eagle part.

I have made a prototype circuit using a PIC18F4550 on a breadboard and now I want to make the real thing on a board but I dont’ want to use up the chip I use for experimenting. I already have a few PIC18F13k50’s and would like to use one of them instead, but I am having a ton of trouble making my own part in eagle. I have even tried editing a similar part that was the same size/format/number of pins and had trouble doing that too.

Does anyone happen to have the PIC18F13K50 eagle part on hand? Or does anyone know if it’s possible to add a “blank” 20 pin SSOP part where I could just it and it’s leads (not worrying about electrical connections or whatnot?).

I am building a solar hot water pump controller that uses two temp sensors to only turn the pump on when the panel is warmer then the water in my storage tank by a certain amount.

I made a quick PIC18F14K50 a while back that might work for you. I haven’t tested it yet, so you’d need to double-check everything before making a board. PM me your email if you want it.

It is still worth spending the few hours it takes to learn the quirks of the part editor. Learning enough to make the first few parts can be a painful experience, but after that it becomes no big deal–I’m sure I didn’t spend more than 10 minutes making this one.
