R: [kicad-users] Tools for Cadence / Mentor footprint symbols formats conversion to Kicad

I am going to use in a project two ICs produced by Texas Instruments, that gently has on its website the possibility to download their footprints in three formats: ** Cadence Allegro v13.6+ ** Mentor Boardstation v8.7+ ** Mentor PADS-PowerPCB v3.5+ Could anybody suggest me a tool capable to convert one of this formats in the one used by Kicad ?

R: [kicad-users] Fwd: more than one library importing at a time
You can use this empiric rule (used in industry, generally, but also suggested into many books): - Voltage Insulation: 10 volt x mil [ex: 200 volt = 20 mils] - Current, track dimension: the same for a air-wire, about 3A/mm or 3A/100mils for long tracks [1 inch] up to 6A/mm or 6A/100mils for a short track; this for a FR4 (or similar) 35 micron Cu (standard, normally used, board). This condition only for a continuous flux current (ac or dc), the worse case. More current for a more thickness of Cu or for a better duty-cycle. Excuse me for my English.

Re: [kicad-users] pcbnew: Problem with grid and module center while moving
Certamente, come del resto e' spiegato nel manuale. Ma resta il fatto che la cattura del componente, specie in pcbnew, sia legata al punto di ancoraggio. Questo comporta, sempre, che lo spostare un modulo, o anche il posizionarlo, resta un piccolo problema che diventa fastidioso quando si vuole lavorare con una certa precisione. In altri cad, il modulo viene catturato quale entita' a se stante e quindi e' possibile acchiapparlo (catch?) su un punto qualsiasi dello stesso, un pin o un angolo o un particolare che si ha necessita' di riferire ad altro punto sul pcb indipendentemente dal punto di ancoraggio del modulo in questione, o dalla griglia in uso. Questo facilita molto l'operazione di posizionamento di un modulo in un pcb. E' un altro modo di vedere le cose. Con tutto cio', ritengo ugualmente utilizzabile con successo anche questo modo di agire in Kicad, tanto che ho abbandonato altri programmi cad a favore di Kicad: ha troppe ottime caratteristiche (features?) da molti punti di vista e lo sto consigliando a amici e colleghi. Se poi i bravissimi Autori vorranno ancora limare alcuni angoli... saluti. Carlo, I2GOQ p.s.: scusate se non scrivo in inglese, ma avrei grossi problemi a spiegarmi su certe cose. --- Sab 1/8/09, Andy Eskelson andyya...@g0poy.co.uk ha scritto: Da: Andy Eskelson andyya...@g0poy.co.uk Oggetto: Re: [kicad-users] pcbnew: Problem with grid and module center while moving A: kicad-users@yahoogroups.com Data: Sabato 1 agosto 2009, 15:36 Most components are already set out to a 50 grid, when you change the grid, the m will move the reference point to the nearest grid point. so leave your grid at 50 and this will not happen. However if you find this a real problem make a copy of the module and casll it something else, select the entire module, and move it so that one of the pads is centered on the blue cross. The system should then place that pad on a grid point.

R: [kicad-users] pcbnew: Problem with grid and module center while moving
Mi sa che non c'e' nulla da fare: i moduli (anche i dispositivi da disegno) sono, per Kicad, allineati sul centro di costruzione (ancoretta sulla destra, nel module maker, per fissarlo o cambiarlo in qualsiasi momento, anche se gia' posizionato su pcbnew, se non sbaglio). Quando lo prendi per posizionarlo o per muoverlo, il programma lo aggancia su quel, chiamiamolo: baricentro fittizio. Se necessita, lo devi spostare per il componente che ti interessa. Deve essere proprio una sorta di filosofia del sistema, tipica di alcuni cad, come di Kicad. Un problema del genere e' gia' stato sollevato tempo fa, ma mi pare non ci sia stata soluzione alcuna.

[kicad-users] A bug (?) and a request.
Su PCBNEW: 1- se ho un segmento di pista, terminato ad un capo, or ad entrambi i capi, con un via e voglio farne il drag, lo stesso segmento e' spostato di N passi, durante il drag, ma il via si sposta di 2 x N passi. Ugualmente se sono 2 via, ciascuno ad un capo del segmento. E' possibile rimediare? 2- quando si usano componenti SMD per RF (ma anche in altri casi), spesso occorre inserire piu' via per, esempio, connettere la massa lato componenti con la massa lato saldature. Il programma PCBNEW non lo permette, o, almeno, non so come fare, se lo permette. Questo e' importante anche per la connessione dell' exposed pad sul fondo del dispositivo, per la connessione RF e per la dissipazione. Quando si tratta di aumentare l'efficienza di collegamento fra piste lato sopra con lato sotto, si puo' ovviare producendo un falso componente con piu' fori passanti, ma non mi pare ugualmente una buona soluzione. Si puo' inserire un comando opportuno, od ovviare in qualche modo a questa necessita' sempre piu' frequente? Grazie, saluti Carlo, I2GOQ
[kicad-users] Zone problem
Ho fatto 2 pcb con Kicad, in modo regolare, in tempi diversi, con Kicad v. r25c. Ora li ho terminati, con Kicad v. r1532: pcb #1: riempio la massa con la zona e ottengo un isolamento (clearance)da 15 mils; va bene. pcb #2: riempio la massa con la zona e ottengo un isolamento (clearance) da 40 mils; molte zone (e punti di massa) risultano sconnesse fra loro. I settaggi dei due pcb sono IDENTICI per quel che mi riesce di controllare. Ho aperto i file *.pro e *.brd del primo e del secondo pcb e non trovo discordanze fra i due. Qualunque cosa faccia non riesco a variare la distanza della zona dal resto del circuito (insulation or clearance). Ho ricompilato tutto con la versione di Kicad 20090216 RC3: non cambia nulla. Domanda: dove e' scritto il valore di isolamento (clearance) della zona? Sul manuale e' indicato (cerco: clearance; trovo: pag. 9.6 e seguire), ma non ha effetto. Domanda: nelle precedenti versioni era settabile la modalita' di riempimento (larghezza pista di zona). Ora non piu': e' stata fissata? a che valore? Qualcuno puo' aiutarmi? Grazie.

La stessa operazione, su r25c dura una frazione di secondo sia su [A] che su [B]. - EEschema: facendo doppio click su un dispositivo a schema, per vedere/cambiare le caratteristiche: su macchina [A] attesa di circa 5...6 sec su macchina [B] attesa di circa 20...25 sec prima che la chiamata abbia effetto. Durante il tempo di attesa (rilevato con orologio), sia su [A] che su [B] il computer permette il trascinamento del cursore-mouse (freccia), ma il cursore di lavoro (crocetta) rimane gelato sul punto di chiamata. - PcbNew: NON compaiono i difetti rilevati in EEschema. - EEschema-Libedit e PcbNew-ModuleEditor: la copia di un elemento (linea o altro) o di un blocco del dispositivo in costruzione/modifica provoca un blocco del computer, dopo che la parte interessata e' stata copiata e trascinata sulla pagina e all'atto del deposito della stessa parte sul foglio.

[kicad-users] 2 questions
Two questions: 1- In EEschema, the Power_pins On/Off have to be forced at any schema begin: but when I have to re-design a schema, the command Power_pins On/Off is always Off. May be I use the power pins in schema to connect a filter or other. When I re-read an old schema, the Power pins are off; the schema is incomplete. Why? I think the command has to be tied to schema, not other. Once more: in Libedit, there's not a control to visualize the power pins. You have to return to Eeschema, set On , return in libedit.C'e' pas bon! 2- an optimum in Eeschema: I can read the datasheets from the schema. But...: why this setting sometimes reset itself ? I need to set yet the device in libedit, to renew the utility. And: where the program write this setting? not in the device (library) not into the cache library not in the schema not Where is it? Why this precious utility reset itself? ok, this one is the 3th: very good the grid at 0.1 mil. In Libedit, however, the zoom is too big: I have some problem to design particular devices.
