hi all, first of all congratulations to all the Kicad stuff for the great and impressive job.
I am new to Kicad, and not very expert on PCB development, I was using Eagle sometime at job, and at home, anyway, i don't want actually to buy any cad license, and at the same time, i don't want to use limited versions. So i chosed to look for an opensource cad, and i chosed Kicad, also becouse is multiplatform. I hope to have chosed the best opensource one, or almost one of the best. So i am starting my knowledge on it, starting a first circuit, and i would read all the tutorials soon. I have some questions, but mostly of general PCB development. 1) I am going actually to develop a circuit with a coldfire processor 66Mhz, in a QFP208, a flash memory, some SDRAM, power & rs232 drivers. Is there some limitation in Kicad i should take in account ? 2) For GND pins, in the diagram component editors, i chosed "power in", is it correct ? 3) you think for a similar project i would need more than 2 layers or there is the chance to get routed with 2 only ? 4) datasheets of the coldfire says the plated QFP pins have a wide from 0.17 to 0.27 max. The pitch is 0.5mm so I decided the smd pad width as 0.30, is it to much ? every help is appreciated, many thanks angelo
