Been working on the software for the powermeter board - I wanted to prove it all worked together before investing in a batch of boards. I only have two channels to play with, but it does seem to work: ~/electronics/projects/powermeter/sw/host/ The two channels are the fridge and the sept

The only way to do it is to overlay an SMT pad on top of a round pin. Note: make the pin slightly smaller than the pad to avoid bugs in older versions of pcb. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listi

Remove the "square" flag from the pad definition. You can edit the .pcb file directly, or in the GUI select the elements that you want to change and type ":ChangeSquare(Selected)" -- Turn ideas into products - http://www.engineersimplicity.com The Art of Engineering - http://blog.engineersimplici
