Re: gEDA-user: Get a pin or net list count
John, Thank you for sharing the gnetlist extension. That works very nicely. I got a slightly different count between the pins I did manually and the pins your package reported. Are you counting all pins, or just used pins?

It should count graphical pins on the symbols that represent physical parts (not graphical=1 symbols). The count should include unconnected pins, but not physical pins on the package that are not represented on the symbols. There is not, in general, any way to deduce the physical pin count from symbol attributes.

gEDA-user: Standard Thru-hole preferences
I was about to make a library of footprints for thru-holes for all the gauges of both solid wire and twisted wire. Is there a standard for pad thickness, mask diameter and clearance for thru-holes? If so, could someone direct me? Thanks ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: Add additional paste
I have two questions relating to solder paste. One is more general, second one is about gEDA/PCB. 1.) Is it common practice to add paste on top of a copper layer to carry more current or to remove heat from small power devices (surface mount SOT26 buck regulator in my case)? If so, do all PCB houses support it, does it bring an extra cost, and does it have any pitfalls? I know I have seen extra silvery paste (if it can be called that) in some power supplies on the bottom of the board, but I'm not sure if this is part of the PCB assembly process or not (perhaps it is added later, after the PCBs are made.) 2.) Is it possible to add extra paste in PCB? I tried adding a paste and frontpaste layer but it just created a signal8 gerber; I'd like it to combine the paste layer with the internally generated one (for the pads and drilled holes.) Many thanks, Tom ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

PCB doesn't support this, but I've hacked it to merge a named layer into the paste layer before. Look for DrawEverything() in src/draw.c; you can hack it to produce whatever results you want. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Probably somewhere in some corporation in the last 60 years... Soldering works very forgivingly -- even with no-lead. I'd just use clearance of .005 to .010 inch as is convenient. I like surface mount wire-to-board conectors like Zierick makes and any others based on old tech like phone company punch down block insulation slicing connectors.
