Hi, I am designing a pin to pin adaptor so that I can program one component with the programming device available in the lab. The pcb itself is very simple, but I am having trouble with adding ground planes on both side of the PCB :
I chose to use trough-holes terminal strips (such as SAMTEC TSW series) to plug the PCB with the programming device. Since those can only be practically soldered on one side of the board, I tried to modify pin array footprints so that the DRC prevents me from connecting them on the component layer. I first unchecked the corresponding layer box in each pin property page. It went perfectly well till I added ground planes on both layers of my PCB. Since my new module has no pin on the component layer, pcbnew does not enforce clearance values and fill the pins with the ground plane. I set the component layer pins back and re did the ground plane but with no changes. Can you help me ?
