DipTrace also has an excellent “Replace pattern” option that lets me change the pattern used for a given component, which I used to replace crystal capacitor patterns with one that takes up less space on silk screen (the distance between pads stays the same, though). Sorry for that! However, I trust you’ll be able to find the correct option yourself if you look at the window that then pops up – usually it’s “xxx properties”, like component or pad properties that I open.Īfter getting the components more or less to their correct locations, I then draw a board outline (after adjusting the grid to a slightly fines 2.5 mil pitch). You probably notice that at some points of the video, the popup-menu options go outside the recording area. Spacebar is again used to rotate components 90 degrees, and multiple items can be selected with ctrl+click. I then remove some component names which are not sorely needed, and change the location for the remaining ones to the center of the component. I then proceed arrange the components roughly to final layout, and add two 10-pin headers which will plug into breadboard. Like it’s schematic counterpart, also this tool is quite easy to use.įirst I change the grid to 5 mil so each step is half of the 10 mil breadboard hole spacing. In DipTrace Schematic Editor, I used File->Convert to PCB (CTRL-B) to get the components and connections exported to PCB Layout tool. Continuing from part 1 of this ATtiny2313 breadboard header with DipTrace -tutorial, I’ll now go through the PCB design.
