Add support for SMD-only footprints, and for test pins.

Open infovore opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Test pins are broken out as TP1-TP6; however, as per the datasheet, TP4/TP5 are ignored.

Test pins have through-hole straight through to the pad on the TH footprints, and just a 1.5mm square pad on the SMD only footprints.

The main reason to break out test pins is access to the USB DP/DM pins (if you want to break out a Pico to an external USB connector), and access to the BOOTSEL pin.

Footprints not tested in anger, so this is very much a proposal PR rather than a "sure merge away" PR.

Thanks for this. I'll run this through KiCad over the next couple of days so neither of us wrong foot anyone in the future and then merge.

Yeah, not a problem. Merging KiCad files is still always a bit painful!
