Need ne555p for Geda

[fixit7]

I am learning Geda. It has one pick for lm555 but I need one for the ne555p.

Is there a way to add it the library?

Thanks.

Can you just copy and rename it?
They are functionally equivalent, just different manufacturers.

All 555's, except for the CMOS versions, are functionally identical, so one model is all you need.

I asked because the pin locations were a little different on my circuit diagram ne555p versus the lm555.

It shouldn't matter where the pin is located, as long as it's function is correct.

The pin positions and functions of an LM555CN are exactly the same for an NE555P.

I believe that he's referring to the position of the pin on the symbol in his simulation program.

Most simulators have the ability to create new parts and edit symbols. But I don't know Geda so I can't say that it does or not. LTspice is the most popular simulator on this forum.
