started work on an oscillator footprint

Finished the oscillator footprint.

Oscillator footprint

Because its pads are distinct, I made pad number 0 identifiable by its non-rectangular shape and special outline. So we don't solder it all wrong like, y'know. Oscillator datasheet: TXC - 7W-60.000MBB-T

Wait. The oscillator datasheet includes a "suggested layout" in which the pads/connections cover a larger area than the actual connectors on the chip/component. "Suggested layout" is probably the same thing as "recommended land pattern" in the crystal datasheet. I should redo the crystal footprint, because I made the pads to the exact same specifications as the connectors in the datasheet.

And now, the footprint for the button switch toggle thing. datasheet for G3T13AP

  • Pad width (in datasheet): 0.067
  • Pad height (in datasheet): 0.028
  • I am rounding that up to, hrm. 0.09 x 0.04. Also we made the support pads even bigger (0.09 x 0.05) because we couldn't figure out their exact y-position relative to the center.
  • Ha-ha those measurements? They are in inches!

Here are proper measurements in mm

  • pad width (in datasheet): 1.7mm
  • pad height (in datasheet): 0.7mm
  • round it up to 2mm x 1mm
  • make thos support pads like, 2.2mm * 1.2mm

Anyway, it's done.

How to make a logo

according to Håvard on the other group here's how you do it:

  1. find picture
  2. copy picture
  3. paste into microsoft word
  4. copy picture from microsoft word
  5. paste picture into altium

doin stuff

  • looking through all the resistors and replacing the ones with an incorrect footprint.
  • Rune wanted to remove the 2.5V power layer. This got me thinking about the I/O LEDs so I looked at leds.schdoc and noticed they were all connected to 15R resistors. According to LEDs, that means they're supposed to be hooked up to 2.5V. But they're I/O LEDs and are hooked up to the microcontroller which runs on 3.3V, I think. I'll have to ask Rune about it.
  • both HSMG-C170 (Non-PSU) and HSMC-C190 (PSU) can be run at 3.3V using a 56R resistor apparently. That's cool because there's a bunch of those (package 1206) in the hw-lab.
  • Making a schematic for the logo/Eye leds.
  • Aaand that's done.

Whelp, I'm out of stuff I know that needs doin'.
