I created the footprint for GX16-8 and updated the 3D with a few details. I will see if I can add the thread as well. I quite like these connectors, but I am a bit concerned that I only find them on one source on Aliexpress + I realized that these connectors have a different…
I will upload these packages on github (here) because it is 2 days wasted work having to draw them and I depend on others publishing their 3D packages myself. Just be aware that these are Beta – their accuracy is subject for testing. I will draw the last five as I get them. Have fun.…
I fancied using GX16 connectors in a project since they are low cost, robust and can be made water proof. I found 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and 12 pin versions with bend pins so they can be mounted directly on a PCB and fixed to a panel. But, what I did not find was 3D models for KiCAD,…
CH32V307 is a RISC-V based MCU that is created by WCH and that got my attention due to it’s low cost – 3.- USD in quantity 1 and down to 1.9 USD from JLCPCB. I have read about RISC-V as an alternative to ARM for years, but I have not paid much attention to it…
It is two controls with an identical border on the picture above. The button display the border correctly, while the ComboBox do not display the border at all. It does have a BorderBrush that I set, but it has no effect. This is quite common with build in native controls – it might be a…
And this is the result of the code generator. In C++ and C# you can use inheritance – simply use a base class for symbols, autogenerate a HMIButton_base and then create the final HMIButton manually – this is a nice way to allow autogenerated code while you still have the full manual control. C# have…
This example is the property list for Button. This is just an early draft, but as I added more properties to Button yesteday I realized that this would take some time with the number of components involved as every property require a bi of coding. So using a CSV file allow me to use Excel…
I am sitting setting up all the properties for the components and it is a bit of work for each component, so what I want to do is one of my usual tricks to code using Excel. Simply by creating a CSV list, read it into a C# app and generate all the property settings…
This shows the moisture sensor from my previous entry with one exception – I added the USB Serial port. I have used various serial ports for debugging in the past, but never the USB despite I have always had it on my boards (almost always) – I simply never took the time to figure out…
This block diagram only illustrate a few of the modules in the Abstraction Layer – loads of more will be added as needed. I started this library years ago so it has existed in various versions, but are re-designing it to be cleaner now. This is a C++ library designed to make coding of user…
