Re: Footprint wizard for microMatch connectors

 

Hi, Joerg,

well, after manually copying it into the latest bzr build, it seems to work.
Can odd pin numbers as well as other wrong input data (like negative numbers)
be cleaned up/clipped/adjusted automatically?
But that might be just me being so picky...

Generally:
I am not happy about the separate Footprint Builder Message window
eating up my screen real estate trying to tell me what's already there?!
It might make sense to have only one set of parameters - merge Body
and Pin parameters to be able to see all at once and saving mouse clicks.
Maybe the lower status line can be useful for error messages.

Since I am new here at kicad-dev I cannot tell you how you are going to get
your code include in kicad. I would simply file a patch against latest head.

Regards,

Clemens
