Is an example of a 14 pin DIP footprint suitab= le for a through hole 14M picaxe.

Some eda tools like Eagle bundle the symbols and associated footp= rints in libraries - so called heavy symbols - but gschem allows any suitab= le footprint to be set as the desired physical pinout for a symbol in gsche= m.

The history of "= M4" and "newlib" collections of footprints is well described= at

http://wiki.geda= -project.org/geda:pcb_footprints

<= div dir=3D"auto">tl;dr version:

You need a DIP14.fp footprint file ava= ilable for laying out your schematic in PCB, and probably have one already = in your default installed libraries.

As far as the HC-12 footprint g= oes, I googled HC-12 footprint, and came across a github repository with an= eagle library for it at

https://github.com/meendiz/hc-12_si4463
<= /div>

from which the raw XML library can be downloaded a= t:

https://raw.githubusercontent.co= m/meendiz/hc-12_si4463/master/hc12_433mhz.lbr

which I then used = with

https://github.com/erichVK5/translate2geda

to convert the eagle library into a gEDA PCB and gschem footprint an= d symbol, respectively

which I have put on

http://www.gedasymbols.org/use= r/erich_heinzle/symbols/HC-12_FOOTPRINT_HC-12_FOOTPRINT.sym

<= br>

http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/erich_heinzle/fo= otprints/HC-12_FOOTPRINT.fp

In general, a goog= le search for a footprint or symbol for a particular device should yield ei= ther a gschem/PCB file, or one that can be converted easily.

Hi Erich Heinzie

I have fou= nd 3 files with records that end on .fp:

/home/torben/www/user/
/home/geda/www/user
/home/g= eda/www/footprints/newlib

I have now integrated PICAXE-14.sym in the standard library that automa= tically comes up.

The 3 files are a bit confus= ing. First they dont appear to be sorted all the way through? Next, can you= tell me which of them is associated with the standard library?

I am sorry I am a bit confused.

Hi Erich Heinzie,
Do I need a footprint file also for the Picaxe-14?
I have been looking for sym-files (and fp-files?) for:<= /div>
- a 3-legged step-up power converter (from Canton-P= ower)
- a hc-12 transceiver (5 legs)
- SW-420 vibration tester (3 legs)
wi= thout finding it. Maybe I can use something else with the right number of l= egs.
Does anybody have it?

Hi Erich Heinzie,
It worked.
Thank you.

gschem does not do anything or know what to do with the footprints.

the following link should provide you with a picaxe 14M symbol
"PICAXE-14M.sym" that you can put in the picaxe directory gschem = looks
