HylianSavior 37 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 How are people getting the headers positioned accurately for their Booster Packs? I couldn't find any measurements for some reason, so I took the board source files and copied just the header pads and laid out a header on top of them, but that seems rather inaccurate.

bluehash 1,581 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I just make a copy of the project, delete all undeede components and build over that without touching the spacing. I use the original files distributed by TI. I then do a double check by printing 1:1 on a printer. Also: Moving to Dev Kits. This thread is for Booster Packs. Each thread is a Booster Pack. Sorry HS, hope you understand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobG 1,892 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 This is how I do my boards. After I am done with schematic, I switch to the board view and change Dimension to 1.9685 (50mm) wide (and tall if I want to maximize the board.) I set Grid to inches and set Size: 0.05 and Alt: 0.005. I place two headers 1.80" apart 0.05 from the left side and finish the layout. After layout is finalized, I select everything inside Dimension outline and alt-move it 0.035 to the right. gwdeveloper, bluehash, GeekDoc and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
