Re: gEDA-user: My footprint generator

[Cory Cross <crcross@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Stuart and all,

My footprint generator is now online at 
http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/cory_cross/

It's commented halfway decently (enough that a regular Python user would 
get how to use it) and I included two sample template files in the 
tools/ directory. I also included the output footprints in footprints/ 
(though I haven't linked them yet). There's the aforementioned EVA 
series electrolytic capacitors and now surface-mount DIP packages 
(called SMDIP?.fp where ? is # of pins) which I use for surface-mount 
DIP versions of optocouplers.

So, when people use footprints with .fp in the name you actually use 
footprint=SMDIP4.fp ? Kinda ugly, but I guess it's better than no 
extension at all.

Enjoy,
Cory Cross

ps Good job on getting gEDA mentioned in that IEEE magazine a few months 
back!
