2008-10-17 Thread Rob Butts
I'm trying to create a footprint for a Microchip signal controller. I'm having trouble locating the horizontal pins with respect to the vertical pins. The datasheet gives dimensions for chip width and height, pinwidth and pin pitch. It doesn't give the distance from chip edge to w
