Re: gEDA-user: smd challenge parts

[DJ Delorie <dj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Got some pictures of the parts on their various footprints (board
printed on paper)

        http://www.delorie.com/pcb/smd-challenge/fp-pix/

The question is: should I use the 'M' (max) footprints to make
soldering easier, or the 'N' (normal) footprints to make it a more
accurate challenge?

The bottom row shows the two SOT footprints for which I lengthened the
pads a little; you can compare the before/after in the left one.

Oh, the 1uF 0805's are as tall as they are wide, with no markings on
any of the four faces.  Actually, none of the discretes or LEDs had
any markings on them.  I've had to be careful to work with only one
part at a time, putting it back in the container before opening
another one.
