gEDA-user: 8 pin DFN package
Hi all, I was wondering if someone had a 8-pin DFN package footprint they could send me or post on the parts library. I saw several references to people using the package on the mailing lists but couldn't find the actual file for it. Thanks- Larry ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
Re: gEDA-user: 8 pin DFN package
Ok, I feel silly now. The first link in google for geda and library was a page that apparently points to a list of the M4 packages and searching those I couldn't find it. Thanks for the help!

Re: gEDA-user: Getting new linux, which distribution?
I had a quick question. I know there are several sparsely-documented plugins for PCB but I am trying to locate the one that makes the traces on the board look like they were laid out by hand the old-fashioned way with tape, resulting in curving, contoured traces instead of the standard auto-routed straight X/Y traces generated by default. As I recall you would route your board and then run this plugin as the final step since editing it afterwards was virtually impossible. Am I thinking of a different pcb layout program or does this plugin exist somewhere?

Re: gEDA-user: Problems with MOSFET symbols in PCB
Thanks for the suggestions but I actually found a ready-made symbol from the symbol site and it causes PCB to choke when included in the schematic. It chokes on the very last line of the definition in the .pcb file as seen here: Element(0x0050 570 1 100 0x00) ( # I have been unable to locate the JEDEC drawing.

This probably doesn't use the symbols to their full potential but it keeps me from getting confused as easily. beware that different vendors sometimes put the pin number on different physical pins. TO-18's and TO-39's are some example packages where I have seen vendor #1 number them one way and vendor #2 a different way. Turns out that the E/B/C to physical location mapping was identical, they just mapped 1/2/3 to physical location differently. ugh! Thats why I use heavy symbols exclusively for things like transistors. No need to remember lets see, was this a cbe transistor and which vendor numbering.

gEDA-user: Problems with MOSFET symbols in PCB
Hi, I've been using gEDA for a little while now and have run into problems using the MOSFET symbols in the library (./gEDA/sym/analog/nmos-3.sym). When I transfer the changes from gschem to pcb the TO220 footprints I've specified show up fine but I never can make any connections show up as ratlines to the gate/drain/source pins. I get errors for all pins like so in the log: Can't find S2/Q406 pin D called for in netlist. WARNING! Pin number ending with 'D' encountered in netlist file Probably a bad netlist file format Can't find S2/Q405 pin D called for in netlist. I've attached the netlist for the project to illustrate what's going on. I have no idea why it would have a problem with it or what to change and even using different MOSFET symbols doesn't fix the problem.
