Turns out, I didn’t get to make any PCBs over my four day weekend. I did spend a lot of time drawing things.
I have some parts libraries to share with everyone, I tried asking on a very popular electronics forum for the LED displays, but no one wanted to share, so I had to re-invent the wheel. Trusty caliper in hand, I measured the packages, and transfered those measurements to my cad program. The package for the 2 inch led matrix is dead on, I’m not 100% certain on the 0.7 inch matrix, I didn’t test it as much… the pins are fine, but the footprint might be a little off. By the way, these parts libraries are for Cadsoft Eagle.
Note; about the piranha package - the through hole layout is OK, the smd layout is brand new and probably needs a little refinement, but lines up good.

Hello, I cannot find an email address to ask you questions with. I am interested in doing this sort of stuff as a hobby. Could you send me an email so I can ask a few questions?
Thanks,
