Hi!
I've created a footprint generator for components that "look like
arthropods" (e.g, DIP packages or pin headers). See here for an example:
http://hedmen.org/arthropods.png
Features:
- pins are optionally combined with solder side, no-paste pads which allow
to create "oval pins" (this is useful for hand-soldered parts if you need
more space between the individual pins)
- support for various silk styles is built in (SIP, DIP, pin
headers/jumpers, JAE, PS, WSL, PSL)
- all parameters can be configured independently
- parameters are optionally read from a configuration file
The footprint generator is a single Python file which can run directly
from the repository. You can find the source code here (including some
example configuration files and footprints):
