Alternatively, one row at 0, one row at 0.300" and one row at 0.600" Then there are only three rows of drilled holes with capability for both row spacings....
If you add another row of pads each side of the 20pin DIP you could then use the wider 0.6 spacing chips as well. You just fit the correct socket for the chip...
THanks for the tip about SeeedStudio's PCB. Excellent pricing, and even a substantial discount for Open Source projects, which current project happens to be,...
AHA! so it's the spacing between pads/holes kinda thought so. Putting the sockets inside one another was my first thought. I've took your advice and...
Think of veroboard 0.1 spacing. A normal 16pin dil is 4 holes across. The larger 24-40 pin chips are 7 holes across. If you are really sneaky (not to mention...
when you say 0.3 and 0.6 do you spacing between the holes/pads? Or the size of the pads themselves? Thanks for the tip on the AVR, i had no idea you could...
Pic's come in all sizes and packages. 8, 18 24 both skinny 0.3 width and normal 0.6 and so on. As do AVR's I've not done any AVR programming, but there are...
Funny I was thinking the same thing after I was finished. Changing to a 18 pin wouldn't increase the board size, so my cost wouldn't go up. Pretty sure I...
I just recently discovered SeeedStudio's PCB service. I've ordered a few components from them, but only recently really looked at the economics of their PCB...
I posted this on the sourceforge bug tracker but that place seems a little dead, and I have no interest currently in joining the kicad dev group since I cant...
A couple of suggestions: You are limiting yourself a little by using a DIP16 There are many chips such as microcontrollers in larger packages. e.g. the...
Yes, I can place parts, but i can't seem to add tracks in order to connect pads. Unless there is a rats nest(from schematic) PCBnew won't let me connect pads...
I know the name is kinda lame, but I was up all night finishing my little proto board and decided to give it that name, you know lack of sleep and all. I'm...
... What do you mean? You should be able to place parts in PCBnew without the schematic. I place mounting holes & pads all the time without them being on the...
I've been using the pin_array modules, Conn_2 in eescheema, plus others, and just moding the pads and modules in PCBnew. Seems to work, using the "block"...
I agree that would be the quickest method. If you want to go into thinga a little deeper then you can create a module for each of the various patterns and use...
Hi, In the new version do: 1. Click on the starting point with right button. 2. Release the right button and begin to draw. Regards, Pedro. ... the product...
My job is just to design new circuits and provide them as schematics. Then the product factories I cooperate with, do the rest mainly the drawing of the PCB...
You have to use a library part. You can use 1 pin pad from the library but I would recommend using one of the sip connectors which already have properly spaced...
Ok here is my latest problem I have. I have 3 different sized boards and on the smallest board, I have created a zone to cover the whole board, and that shows...
the other way around could also be neat. I think you would have to know about how the files are saved I know kicad has a open text format. Proably lots of fun...
Kicad folder with project in it & libraries with Rabit SVN in ubuntu. I have shared my project with a group as a open source project it will be fully open...
Thanks for your help and attention! My objective was to pass a finished project to someone else (or me) to use as the basis for their own (or my) new project...
There is an option to "archive" a project. I think it is under the "File" menu. You can then take that archive file to another computer and restore it...
