Is an example of a 14 pin DIP footp= rint suitable for a through hole 14M picaxe.

Some eda tools like Eagle bundle the symbols and assoc= iated footprints in libraries - so called heavy symbols - but gschem allows= any suitable footprint to be set as the desired physical pinout for a symb= ol in gschem.

The histor= y of "M4" and "newlib" collections of footprints is wel= l described at

htt= p://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:pcb_footprints

tl;dr version:

You need a DIP14.fp footp= rint file available for laying out your schematic in PCB, and probably have= one already in your default installed libraries.

As far as the HC-1= 2 footprint goes, I googled HC-12 footprint, and came across a github repos= itory with an eagle library for it at

https://github.co= m/meendiz/hc-12_si4463

from which the raw = XML library can be downloaded at:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meendiz/hc-12_si4463/mas= ter/hc12_433mhz.lbr

which I then used with

<= div>https://github.com/erichVK5/translate2geda

t= o convert the eagle library into a gEDA PCB and gschem footprint and symbol= , respectively

which I have put on

<= /div>

http://www.gedasymbo= ls.org/user/erich_heinzle/symbols/HC-12_FOOTPRINT_HC-12_FOOTPRINT.sym

http://www.gedasymbo= ls.org/user/erich_heinzle/footprints/HC-12_FOOTPRINT.fp

<= /div>

In general, a google search for a footprint or symbol for a parti= cular device should yield either a gschem/PCB file, or one that can be conv= erted easily.

Hi Erich Heinzie
I have found 3 files with records that end on .fp:

/home/torben/www/user/
/hom= e/geda/www/user
/home/geda/www/footprints/newlib

I have now integrated PICAXE-14.sym in the st= andard library that automatically comes up.

Th= e 3 files are a bit confusing. First they dont appear to be sorted all the = way through? Next, can you tell me which of them is associated with the sta= ndard library?

I am sorry I am a bit confused.

Hi Erich Heinzie,

Do I need a footprint file al= so for the Picaxe-14?

I have been looking for sym-f= iles (and fp-files?) for:

- a 3-legged step-up powe= r converter (from Canton-Power)

- a hc-12 transceiv= er (5 legs)

- SW-420 vibration tester (3 legs)
<= /div>

without finding it. Maybe I can use something else = with the right number of legs.

Does anybody ha= ve it?

Hi Erich Heinzie,
It worked.

you do not appear to have placed a symbol = (.sym) file for the picaxe
in your picaxe directory, but you have some footprints (.fp) in there.

gschem does not do anything or know what to do with the footprints.

the following link should provide you with a picaxe 14M symbol
"PICAXE-14M.sym" that you can put in the picaxe directory gschem = looks
in
