It is fancy math. And it is mundane. I didn't have the time refresh my electrical formulas and/or follow yours. So it simply needs time and attention. Formulas don't teach you what's going on. It's applying/verifying/quantifying your understaning of the subject. Any one can apply simple formulas. But when you don't understand where they come from you are just repeating tricks with the risk of doing it wrong. Your formulas are however infinitely more valuable then the fixed recommendations but require more time to understand, verify and use: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/spraar7g/spraar7g.pdf figure 13 That document has some nice recommendations. I've been away from electrical calculations for 16 years now. So they need time to enter my mind again and become applicable. > >>> Anyway a picture of the flood-fill will reveal everything. >> >> attached. greyscaled (smaller). original GND tracks are still >> visible but they're *combined* with the floodfill. > > So I enjoyed looking at the picture but I'm curious what I'm looking at.

If a trace is GND the fill distance is 0 if not 5 thus connecting the GND traces to the GND fill > _______________________________________________ > arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk > http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook > Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
