gEDA-user: Pin pads on only one side
Is there some way to instruct PCB to put a copper pad for through-hole pins only on the bottom of the board? I'm etching two sided boards, and I don't solder to the top side since it makes rework much harder. Sometimes the solder will travel down the lead and get to the top-side pad, (which never connects to anything) making it very hard to desolder. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: Taking advantage of internally connected pins
I need to make a key matrix. I'm considering selecting a switch which has 4 leads (two leads per internal net): o--+--o ' / | o--+--o This appears to be a boon for the grid-style routing I need for the switch matrix. The rows can hop the columns inside the part, making everything fit on a single layer. (obviously I wouldn't do this with an IC, but it seems harmless for a switch) Anyway, if I give all pins different numbers, PCB doesn't know about the internal structure. If I give the electrically connected pins the SAME numbers then PCB thinks it needs to connect them with copper itself. If I connect them on a 'fake' layer then the autorouter works but the toporouter spins and I have to kill pcb.

Tony, It seems that you're missing the simpleparse module. You can install it using package manager of your distribution, or download it here: http://simpleparse.sourceforge.net/ Best regards, -- Krzysztof Kościuszkiewicz "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" -- Leonardo da Vinci ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

I just noted that the context of the "gnetlist" import method means that no further name-spacing is required. If it was just: import::src4 = my_circuit.sch That would be insufficient information, as "my_circuit.sch" could be anything. As I said in the previous email, I "briefly" thought we might need to name-space the field - but later realised that the context given by the "import" method sufficed. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
