Arbitrary copper [1 Attachment]


 

Remember to measure the temperature. Cu has a significant positive tempco. (A product I worked on used battery cables as current sensors in a vehicular application. Copper's tempco was a challenge.)

Hi,
I have done footprints with extra copper on the surface. Just draw them
on the silk screen layer, then edit by moving them to the required copper
layer. I have even copied them over and move them to the mask layer. This
is how you can make fancy copper pads on one side of the board only.
I have done that with Kicad v. 4.07 but have not tried it on 5.0
Good luck .
This reminds me my gEDA time, when I had to do such fancy stuff... but
thanks for the idea. I've come up with adding extra pads. If you are
interested in a 0.001 Ohm resistor made by copper, here is my take.
Cheers,
Levente
