Re: official web page

 

Hi Nick,

all the models are native in STEP, then exported to VRML with FreeCAD (1/2.54 scale factor)
so the mechanical details are just the right one both in STEP and in VRML

Please find attached the screenshots with the headers corrected (I used a low profile model)

@Vesa: I tried to get screenshots with antialiasing on...

They look great. So as I understand it theese models are dedrived from
step models in freecad and exported to VRML to be viewable in kicad?

But the female pin headers, they look a bit too low or maybe "put
down" into the PCB. Is this correct?

Hi Marcos and all,

it took me a bit but here is the hackrf-one generated with STEP models by
kicad stepup script and the hackrf-one in kicad 3d-viewer with all the
3d-models generated from the conversion of the STEP models.
I also checked the geometries of the generated board with models and there
are no problems ...

The rendering result shows that the two scenarios are exactly the same, and
I didn't get any problem in rendering all the vrml models in kicad.

generating the 3D modes in FreeCAD will produce a vrml 3D models with no
shading issues and with mechanical respect of all the dimensions

It would be nice if some of these screenshots could be in the official web
page...

please let me know what you think

Maurice
(ps second try in sending the screenshots)

Hi Maurice,

here is the HackRF board with 3D models
http://www.mrkindustries.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/hackrf-one.zip

Most of the footprits are from Walter (smisioto), and located
in /usr/share/kicad/modules/packages3d/walter/

Ping me if there is something missing, I didn't try to open the project in
a different PC.

Have fun, I'm keen to see the result



Marcos
