-- Cut here -- From: Hans Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Folks, I just thought I would report yet another (mostly) successful project done with gschem->gsch2pcb->pcb. Pictures:=20 http://www.geekhouse.ca/~hans/grip/board.png http://www.geekhouse.ca/~hans/grip/assembled.jpg http://www.geekhouse.ca/~hans/grip/bareboard.jpg Anyhow, after going through this process, I have a few critiques. The first is that the available footprints for pcb need some serious work. The default ones in the geda-user m4 scripts are virtually unuseable. If you go and look at the TQFP packages, the pads on oposite sides of the TQFP don't even line up. I think there is some cumulative rounding error going on here. Also, for most of the through-hole components, the holes are way too small to actually mount the device.=20 The problems also extended to SOICs and other components. As a result, I ended up creating virtually all my own elements, and used those in the project. I can post them if people are interested. Anyhow, thanks for producing a product that allows me to do what I want, even if it is a bit rough around the edges. :) Regards, Hans Johnson --=20 --------------------------------------------- Hans Johnson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) B.ASc, Computer Engineering Simon Fraser University ...
