Re: footprint library help needed

 

Carl,

In you last fp-lib-table work, I discovered mismatch in filename vs. lib_path.

Only one lib_path had a typo.

See attached patch.

You can test the entire fp-lib-table by doing the following in pcnbew:

Toolbar(Add Modules) -> Mouse Click to drop new module -> Select "List All".

This will load every module from every library into a RAM list, and verify fp-lib-table
integrity along the way.

Note that I'm not offering direction on how to spell things here, just pointing out  a
mismatch between actual filename and fp-lib-table.  So feel free to go to yet a third
spelling.


Thanks,

Dick
