OK, thanks for the response. Attached is a very simple hierarchical design. The .pcb and .net files were generated by gsch2pcb --skip-m4. You can see the U?-? in the .net file. On Wed, 2007-07-18 at 07:11 -0400, John Luciani wrote: On 7/18/07, Peter Baxendale [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't

Found the answer to my own question by playing around a bit. The pins on the top level symbol didn't have a pinnumber attribute - I didn't think I needed them since they are meaningless. When I put them in, the problem goes away. I've made them invisible so as not to give meaningless info on the

gEDA-user: Specifying vdd connection in gschem?

2007-07-19 Thread devrin talen
Hi all, I'm designing a rather simple circuit in gschem. Included in it are two 74126 tri-state buffers that I specify to be part of one 14 pin dip package. I used the tutorial as a reference and edited the slot attribute, gave them the same refdes and footprint, and everything looks good. My

gEDA-user: Results of CustomPCB build of FLEX board

2007-07-19 Thread Ben Jackson
I had my Altera FLEX (obsolete FPGA I got a handful of for free) board built by CustomPCB last week. This was a trial run of using PCB for professional manufacture, since I plan to do more complex 4 layer board soon. Overall I'm fairly pleased. Gary Cho at CustomPCB answered my questions

Cool. About solder masks: I usually set those to the closest to the pad that the vendor allows, which usually means 1.5 mil or so away. Worst case, have the mask edge halfway between the pin and the plane. I never trust the library's mask or clearance, I always bulk-update them once they're on
