Having looked at the Sparkfun tutorial, I think the pcb layout needs to change.

The pins are linked in the schematic view? That said I took a look and it looks like your Pico part has connections between GP10 and GP21 and GP11 and GP20. Many thanks! Similar license question there I guess? While I’m here there is a RPI 4B part available here that you are welcome to as well Would you be happy for your part to be released under a similar license? We’re releasing KiCAD design files (and the Fritzing part) wit permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute for any purpose with or without fee. We’re being a bit more aggressive on licensing.

Which is a good introduction on what they’re for and how to solder them.Īs far as I know parts are released under the Creative Commons share alike license 1in headers to plug the module in if they wish. It has a fair number of problems though, it lacks terminalIds in schematic (which will cause the connection to be in the middle of the pin rather than the end), appears to have no layerIds (and thus won’t export as an svg from a sketch), and (most importantly) paths for the connectors in the pcb svg which will not generate holes in the gerber output (thus your pcb will have no holes which is probably undesirable!) At a quick look at the existing part, I think starting again from scratch is going to be the easiest solution (there is some kind of odd Illustrator binary format in the svgs apparently called a pgf which does not appear to be xml (although Fritzing appears to deal with it.) I’ll probably make a correct part, but it may take a few days (I may even try and find a way to offer it to the RPI folks if I can figure out how to contact them!) The current part would only be useful in breadboard and schematic views (if you connect straight in to the lines, the lack of terminalIds won’t matter) I expect, pcb view generates no holes (although the pads are there) and therefore likely won’t be useful.Īlthough I’m not all that familiar with castellatization I don’t think the hole should prevent soldering the module to the board, while leaving the user the option of installing.
