Re: gEDA-user: How's my footprint?

Hi Steve and all, So if I understand this correctly, you are asking for someone to write an exporter for pcb which outputs a file with XY-values of pads(pins) with an ID-reference to be able to check for copper conductivity etc. and maybe even frequency related impedance/capacitance (nelma ?).

gEDA-user: gsch2pcb creating board.pcb syntax errors?

Some of the elements in my generated (by gsch2pcb) board.pcb have parse errors. (for a new project, but it already has many elements) After Element(blah) (body) there's stray text: ERROR parsing file 'board.pcb' line:1058 description: 'parse error' Element(0x00203 0 3 100

I created this for LT1764A and friends, it's a DD5. This is exactly their recommended footprint, plus an outline I made up. It's very tight to the part, more so than some I looked at on professionally made boards using the same package. It's twice as far from the part as outlines I use,

I didn't need to place anything on a sub-mil location, so I didn't use that. Is there another advantage? Metric parts need the extra resolution, else the pins bounce back and forth due to the 0.025mm grid. ___ geda-user mailing list

I tend to make my centers be the center of what ver is the first pad. I try to make the snap-to points on the pads line up with the grid, so I don't end up with snap points 0.1 mil away from grid points. ___ geda-user mailing list

Bert, A high end (Diamond Quality) fab and assembly shop uses the ascii file to program their flying probe tester. There is an existing standard which I have an example off at the office which is based upon the pads file format. If you are interested I can probably get you an example early next

I've used this part and several others in the same package. My $.02 worth... - I would also recommend using the .01 mil resolution co-ordinate syntax. - My experience is that most shops like the part co-ordinate origin to be the centroid, not on pin 1. I've also had problems setting the mark

I am trying to build the CVS geda/gaf module. The autogen.sh scripts test for required version of autotools etc but they actually require even newer versions to successfully build. Since I just upgraded to the latest in an effort to build, I can't tell you what the requirements actually are, but

Ok, gnetlist is writing an intermediate m4 file like this: PKG_QFP208_28.fp(`QFP208_28.fp',`U402',`unknown') The first part PKG_QFP208_28 becomes a m4 call to the function with no arguments. It also does this with my package: PKG_DD5.fp(`DD5.fp',`U501',`3.3V/3A') however mine
