updated the designators in the oscillator footprint because they were 0-2-3-4 instead of 1-2-3-4.

Odd Rune hustled like crazy and helped us fix some stuff.

  • The net label errors were caused by the test_pcb.pcbdoc being old and contained references to labels that didn't exist anymore.
  • The purple stuff around the red pads in footprints are solder masks and are there to prevent the soldering tin from junking up the PCB if it should spill out slightly beyond the pad.
  • Something else.
  • Something else.
  • Shit.
  • Could we ignore the "multiple net names" error?

TODO

  • Check out design rules in altium.
  • Nope, Rune is doing this.
  • Look at the project and figure out the missing footprint stuff.

STUFF I DID TODAY

  • Replaced resistors in sdsheet.schdoc with ones from the vault because altium couldn't find their footprints and as far as I could see the library they were from wasn't included in the project. Anyway the vault is nice because everyone has that and we don't have to include libraries in the actual project that way.
  • Figured out how to automatically number/annotate components in a project:
  • Tools -> Annotate Schematics.
  • Looked through the footprints we've made and made sure the pad designators match up with the ones in the corresponding schematic.
  • They all do now.
  • Turns out we've been using absolute file paths to our footprints. Luckily, using the "library name" field instead and entering .pcblib works just fine!
  • Corrected this in the oscillator, crystal, cap-pol-size-b, memorychip, switch-toggle, switch-button schematics.
  • Fixed missing footprint errors, got Eirik to push the libs he'd found his in.
  • usbdevice.schdoc; D1/#NAME missing footprint SOT23_5L; L1/160Ohm missing footprint WE-CNSW, 1206; L2/300Ohm missing footprint SMD 0603
  • I need to update the component page tomorrow.

Going through the compilation warnings/errors

  • "Duplicate Component Designators R? at .*"
  • Fixed by automatically annotating everything.
  • "Duplicate Net Names Wire NetR?_[12]"
