Re: [PATCH] Eagle schematic and project import.

 

Hi,

any option to merge eagle schematic import soon? This will provide many new testers.

Hi Orson,

Please find attached a small patch that handles multiple pad connections.

Regards

    Hi,

    Maciej : I had a look at the rounding issue and I couldn't find an
    obvious reason for it.
    It might be due to the translation of all components to the middle
    of the sheet, but I round that off to the nearest 100mil.

    I'll take a look at that pin mapping problem, I think your
    solution of multiple pins will work fine.

    Regards

        Jean-Pierre,

        Could you help me find pins/wires that are not connected due
        to rounding
        errors? I did my best, but I cannot find anything neither by
        looking at
        the files saved in KiCad format nor in ERC reports.

        I noticed only missing junction marks on some of the T-shaped wire
        connections, but they are missing in the original Eagle files,
        so I
        assume it is fine.

        There is a minor bug that causes small squares on pins (as if
        they were
        not connected), but as soon you move a single component, they all
        disappear. This should be investigated, but it is not a
        rounding problem.

        Regards,
        Orson
