gEDA-user: symbol creation - unconnected pin
Hi, I am trying to create a gschem symbol for an Opamp IC. One of the pins on that IC is usually unconnected, so I didn't have a pin for it in the gschem symbol. But I get a warning from gsymcheck saying tha the number of pins on the symbol and the footprint does not match. How do I insert a pin which is invisible from gschem, but is physically in there?

Re: gEDA-user: Some Linux distros to consider
I'm pretty sure gEDA will work well with any distro out there. My goal here was to find one that I can download, burn, install, have the latest version of firefox and openoffice, and then install gEDA with minimum hassle. Also, I've been following some of the distros I second Larry's and Al's opinion. Use Debian. I had been using Debian since 1998 and other distros before that. gEDA and associated stuff is available in the Debian. I suggest using Debian testing or unstable branch. I run the unstable branch and update the packages every weekend. -- Ramakrishnan - VU3RDD ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: gnetlist complains of unconnected pins
Hi, I am working on my first geda schematics for a simple LC meter (in my free time which is scarse and so this effort has stretched into weeks). The schematics can be found at: http://www.amqrp.org/kits/elsie/ELSIE_BA.PDF I completed the schematics and ran the DRC2 check with this command: gnetlist -g drc2 lcm.sch -o - The output is (after removing irrelevant stuff): Checking non-numbered parts... Checking pins without the 'pintype' attribute... NOTE: Found pins without the 'pintype' attribute: U101:1 U105:7 U105:3 U105:8 U101:3 U105:2 U105:4 U101:2 Checking type of pins connected to a net... Checking unconnected pins... ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:11 ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:8 ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:2 ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:19 ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:18 ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:17 ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:16 ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:14 ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:13 ERROR: Unconnected pin U102:12 ERROR: Unconnected pin U105:1 ... ... Now, I connected the 'nc' symbol to all the unconnected pins of U102 and those errors vanished. U105 is LM311 symbol from the geda standard installation and pin 1 of the symbol comes connected to GND. But DRC complains that it is unconnected? What am I doing wrong here?

On 9/23/06, John Luciani [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There looks there is a mistake in that symbol. Pin one is not really connected to ground since there is no net connection in that symbol. The ground is only graphical. If you connect your system ground to the red dot on pin number one your error should go away. In my copy of the symbol the last three line commands draw the ground symbol. If you remove these lines the symbol should be correct. John, Many thanks. I just removed the three line commands and the ground symbol disappeared, but now the pin 1 is not aligned to the grid, so I am unable to draw the net to the ground. -- Ramakrishnan - VU3RDD ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Run pcb, and choose from the library window: ( Window - Library- pcblib- ~generic, Capacitor* ) I prefer to convert m4 footprints to newlib format, rather than deal with the necessary parameters. This is how I do the conversion: Import one of them to he pcb drawing area, copy the footprint to buffer and save it as an element to my local pcb library. Hope, that helps, Thanks. I am trying a thru-hole part.
