“A Cross Platform and Open Source Electronics Design Automation Suite”īut, actually, what is the best term to use? CNOOC Electrical.rar (9.6 KB)īut looking at the page, Kicad is described as this as : Re-arrange the parts so they are not on top of one another.ĭraw the Edge cuts around the parts, and you have the panel size in 2D. You will need to set the page settings to A0 for the size. Run CvPCB, and if you have done it right, it’ll be a quick job of just double clicking and setting all the foot prints. Updated the name and reference in the library and save it. I moved the component outline so the pads are on the outside.Īdded a pad manually, called in 11, and put it on the one side by itself. Later I might have to come back here and adjust this if the PCB ends up smaller/larger.Īfter accepting the component I changed all the pads to circular.
Click body and set x and y margin to 0.Īt this stage I am using the wizard to give me a preliminary size of the junction box, which will set the size of the PCB I put inside it. This time enter pass count 10, row count 2, pad pitch 40, pad width 20, pad length 20, row spacing 150. 
Select the wizard again, and use SOIC again. Go to preferences-> libraries manager and add your new library to the project. Select your working folder and save the library in there. Click create new library, and save current foot print. Its the 4 pin unit, and it is actually a 20 mm hex, but a 20 mm circle will show it well enough for what I’m trying to show. I don’t actually want a square as the connector is circular, but its easy to change later. This puts the pad as a square in the centre of the flow meter. set pas count=1, row count=1, pad width=20, pad length=20 Use the wizard, and start a new SOIC partġ5. Open the Foot Print editor and again remove all the libraries…ġ4. Close down the schematic library editor.ġ3. Get yourself a coffee…time to make a foot print for the flow meter.ġ2. Wire up the flow meters to the input side of the JB and leave the output side O/C for now. Go back to the schematic and place 10 flow meters on the sheet. Click create a new component, and make a junction box with 10 inputs and 1 output. Inside the library editor click Preferences-Component Libraries and add the new library. Use the “Save current component to new library” and save the library in your project file. Open library editor (I find this a quirk of Kicad- you can’t just say start a new library? maybe I’m wrong ). Open the schematic and remove all the libraries. The connection point is an subsea connector which I will go into more later.ī) The junction box has of course 10 connectors, again size to come from a datasheet later.Ĭ) The output of the JB is a single connector, with power and comms. I’m doing a panel that has some parts that are forming part of a fluid measurement system, that is going underwater.Ī) The flow meters have a 10mm bore, and outside the footprint is around 15圆0mm, with 1 connection pad for the cable. ELECTRICAL SWITCHBOARD DRAWING SOFTWARE MANUAL
Build a circuit, and then the software makes my manual and tells me if I’m stupid… How the h** could it tell how you since I have linked a circuit together and it tell you to turn on CB1 first? geez if this was possible my hydraulic library would be awesome. I don’t even know how in the he k you would get a piece of software to spit out user documentation. However it does enough for me to get the info I need and generate BOMs, and price jobs further.įor the hydraulic side, I just use it for schematics.
ELECTRICAL SWITCHBOARD DRAWING SOFTWARE INSTALL
I have even managed to install some 3D components sourced from RS Components, and then got the 3D export through MCAD to populate the panel with the components.
I look to standard supplier cabinets and resize to suit. I organise the parts so they all fit on a panel. That way I can check DRC.Yes the foot print is only the outline of the object on the bottom. Yes I do add in pins for the connections. I get it to give me an idea of the size of the enclosure I need.
