Hi,
I am trying my first board with Geda.
I have entered a schematic including the symbols: nmos-3.sym and
npn-1.sym. These symbols define the pinnumbers as G,S,D and B,E,C etc.
I have set the footprint to TO220STAND. This footprint defines the
pinnumbers as 1,2,3.
When I use gsch2pcb it generates a *.cmd file containing lines like
ChangePinName(Q3, E, E)
ChangePinName(Q3, C, C)
ChangePinName(Q3, B, B)
When I use: "ExecuteFile(motorControl.cmd)" within pcb I get error
messages like:
"WARNING! Pin number ending with 'G' encountered in netlist file
Probably a bad netlist file format
Can't find XM3 pin G called for in netlist."
So what's wrong ?
1. Should I change the gschem symbols to use pin numbers ?
2. Should I change PCB footprints to use pin names ?
3. Do I need a pinnumber to name translation file for gsch2pcb ?
4. Is there a problem with "gsch2pcb" ?
could you send what is in motorControl.net?
Did motorControl.net load correctly?
Hopefully I can take a look tonight (eastern us tonight) and figure out
whats going on. Offhand though I think you want to use pinlabel for the
names in your symbols instead of pinnumber. pinnumber needs to match
the numbers in the footprint.

Yes, I believe motorControl.net loaded correctly.
