Correct process to contribute more devices?
开云体育Hello folks,
??? I am working to get a few of my
often used devices into Kicad, and I would like to share them with the group, if
that is wanted.
?
??? I put in a 256Kb SRAM this
evening just as a test. It seems to work okay, but besides adding it to the
library file so eeschema can use it, what else do I need to do? I am assuming I
need to somehow link a .600 DIP package for it, but was unsure of exactly where
to do that.
?
??? Another question;?are there
very thorough docs spmewhere on how to edit the library files? The docs that I
found that describe the file format seemed to be a good start, but I had some
questions that seemed not to be answered by them. An example would be
this:
?
In the docs:
F n “text” posx posy dimension orientation
visibility
??? with: ?
??????? n =
field number :
??????? reference = 0. ??????? value = 1. ??????? n = 2..9 = fields 1 to 8. ??????? Pcb FootPrint = 10. ??????? Diagram name = 11. ??????? orientation = H (horizontal) or V (vertical). ??????? Visibility = V (visible) or I (invisible). ?
Example:
??? DEF DIODE D 0 40 Y NR 1 0 NR ??? F0 “D” 0.100 50 H V ??? F1 “DIODE” 0 - 100 50 H V ?
But in the Lib file, for the 512k
sram:
F0 "U" 100 1200 70 H V L C F1 "SRAM_512Ko" 100 -1200 70 H V L C ?
I'm guessing this mean field 0 (basically text notes around a device) is a
"U" and positioned at 100 on x and 1200 on y, 70 dimension (height? in mm?) H
for horizontal, and V for visible. So, what does the L and C do?
?
Enough questions for now, I think. ;)
?
Thanks,
Rick |

Hello folks,I think that is a good idea. I have created a library folder in the files section of the group for this purpose. Please create your own subfolders and donate your libraries. ian -- Ian T-Bell aka RuffRecords aka RedTommo www.geocities.com/ruffrecords |
开云体育I will do that, but I want to contribute complete
devices and not just the stuff to add to the libraries.
