Hi,
I forgot to mention that I'm using a 20x Binocular microscope to check 
the alignment of the pins,if that makes any difference.

David. 

 

    
Well, the pins are not perfect (all in the center of the pad) but all of 
them appear to be good.
The poscript you send is a file->print or its a plot printed?

I'm just using the file -> plot dialogue using the windows version of
kicad.I will try to print it out using Linux over the weekend, to see
if it makes any difference.

Hi,
I've uploaded it to the test print plot folder.
I've been using Ghostview to veiw and print the files to a HP laserjet
colour printer (a new one at work, so its not worn out).
Can people please try this file and let me know if it has the same 
problem.

  
Hi there!
Ive printed it with a lexmark laser printer using linux and ghostview and put my spartan2-pq208 on top of the printed page and (with a
magnifiying glass) saw that the pads are OK!

Im interesed in this tests too because ive just send my board (wich uses? this) to the factory for made some
prototypes. If any one else can test them, please!!

Saludos, Juan Pablo.
Thanks,

Alternatively could anyone suggest a way of correcting this error.

Could you post a copy of one that has this problem to the files 
section of the group? That way others can try rpinting it see if it 
    
is 
  
just a problem at your end or a general Kicad problem.

MSP430 or 64-PIN QFP

hi list,

has someone a library with the MSP430x14x microcontroller? Or the
module 64-Pin Quad Flat Pack (QFP)?

thanks, bye

Re: Vias on zones

fluissman
 

Hi,

1st - Select the option 'Add wire or via'
2nd - Go to the place of the zone where you want to put de via. Left
click.
3rd - Without moving the mouse, right click and select 'Add via'
4th - Without moving the mouse, right click again and select 'End of
wire'. Then you have the via...

I've made a translation from Spanish of the options. Maybe in
English version are different....

bye

Thanks to everyone who has asked my question.

I had missed to click with the left button on the zone before clicking with
the rigth button to add the via.

It would be good to have the posibility, but dont know if that is right
at the design of a pcb (to put thermals in a thruhole).
you are right, I wasn't thinking. I actually did have the zone connected
to ground. that is why it worked in the end. But, DRC does not recognize
the connections unless an actual trace starts from each ground pad, and
ends at another. To clarify, a picture of the board is here:



I wanted thermals on the vias because it is a pain to solder (if you
don't have soldermask). You can see there, that ground pads of each
module have thermals, but the vias do not. My professor actually
commented on my lack of thermals on the vias.

I would like to know if it is possible to include other fields in my

Thanks in advance
Harish Mistry
AFAIK this is not possible at present. You can add values in additional fields of a component such as price or part number but I don not think it is possible yet to select these into the BOM.

I'm not sure if there is a good way to do it. I just built a board that 
needed this. I ended up drawing actual traces between all of the 
grounds. When the board is actually made, you can't tell the difference. 
  
I did the same thing. I been told that in some commercial programs you have to do the same. Dont know.

if you are willing to accept many DRC errors, then you could just draw a 
few small traces of the ground pads and add VIAs.

I would suggest that a "connect to net" box be added to the zone file 
dialog, and the fill zones should be a part of the DRC. Another problem 
I have is the inability to use thermals around the vias on the ground plane.
