If you are looking for a schematic CAD program, think about the readability of your schematic and the ease of creating it. Mycroft came across DIPTRACE, downloaded the demo and converted from EAGLE in less than a week.
#DIPTRACE SCHEMATIC TUTORIAL WINDOWS#
Very windows like commands and a very intuitive interface.īut the main selling point for me was the ease of creating components and footprints. I was tired of the generic square boxes with letter and numbers for component symbols. These boxes are very hard to understand and how they relate to the real world.
#DIPTRACE SCHEMATIC TUTORIAL DOWNLOAD#
There is a free download at This free version allows any size pcb to be made that contain a maximum of 250 pins and 2 layers. There is also an exact size printout function that is great of toner transfer or photo homebrew pcbs. Mycroft has created a library with a set of new components in the 'live-bug" style along with some pcb footprints that were easier to use in homebrewed pcb boards.
#DIPTRACE SCHEMATIC TUTORIAL MANUALS#
The library comprises all of components used in the Rev-Ed manuals and then some. The pads are oversized to be more forgiving when hand drilling.įILENAME EXTENSIONS FOR UPLOADING AND USE:ĭue to the limitation of the PICAXE forum. ele extensions cannot be used to place files on the forum. It is recommended that everyone use the file extension “.dsn” (the standard trick to post non-conforming formats on the forum).

The PICAXE 40X text seems to be embedded into the symbol data When downloading the library files for use remember to change the file extensions back to. The text is part of the component on the 40X and can be changed in the component editor.Īre you having difficulty placing text to line up accurately and closely with the component pins. The easiest way to adjust the text placement is to change the grid size to something like 0.001", move the text then change the grid size back to a standard 0.10" or 0.05" grid.

In the Mycroft schematic symbols library, note that one of the pcb patterns for the stereo jack was meant to be a generic footprint, just a 3 pin header. There is a separate component symbol for the pcb mount jack that Rev_Ed uses. The standard DIPTRACE supplied libraries contains some components such as logic gates and the IDC type headers listed as 2 x 7 and 2 x 8 in male and female. If selected, they show up okay as a PCB footprint, but when placed only one half of the connector is shown on the schematic with each insertion.ġ. To place all parts on the schematic simultaneously, you will find in the upper left corner of the schematic editor is a check box, "Place all Parts" placing multiple symbols and then identifying as part 1 and part 2 in the properties.Ģ. That will automatically put all the parts of a component on the sheet at one time, otherwise YOU CAN select which part from the box above.Continuing from part 1 of this ATtiny2313 breadboard header with DipTrace -tutorial, I’ll now go through the PCB design. For the ease of soldering, put the * letter to the first foot.In DipTrace Schematic Editor, I used File->Convert to PCB (CTRL-B) to get the components and connections exported to PCB Layout tool. If so, copy and paste that element how much You need and be happy. And evaluate do You have at least 0,5 mm inside of body contoure and at least 2 mm outside the body, I mean the contoure of patches. Then look on the job and evaluate do You shall be able to set the some wiring below the body, there ought be at least some 2 mm between the inner contoures. Then insert them, that screen will not allow You to put it nowhere else that in the right position, You must tick it just approximately. Then form the size of "SMD patch" to those You like, for example in case of 0,63 mm distance the 0,5mm x 3 mm or 2 mm.

#DIPTRACE SCHEMATIC TUTORIAL INSTALL#
Install the right step for guide-screen, 2,5 or 1,27 or 0,63 or 0,5 etc. Or push - insert the rectangulum - that will be the outline of multi-foot IC. Push the I letter of 10 mm bold letter-set - that is DIP resistor, the same way make a SMD resistor. Insert the letter D with size of as example 14 mm - that is outline of 7805. For example, SMD resistors has too small contact patches what too easily deglues off, the IC patches are too small outward to get soldering with an ease, the other components may not pass the size You have at hands etc etc. I prefer the SprintLayout v.6 for it allows very much about hand operations and canister filling the all unused places, but all said here is valid for all dozen of other softs what I had checked up.ĭONT use the library, they very rarely pass with Your needs.
