Eagle Auto-routing doesn't route arduino

hazymat
hazymat over 9 years ago

Hi there

 

Any Eagle experts out there? Although I'm new to Eagle, it's possible the answer to this question is not obvious, at least not from all the reading I've done so far!

 

I created a new library from scratch which has the footprint, schematic, and package definitions for an Arduino Nano, as I'd like to include a nano on my board. I also tried this by running exp-project-lbr.ulp on the Arduino Nano Eagle files to create a library this way.


The airwires to my Nano show up fine on the board, but they won't autoroute. Everything else autoroutes fine. ALL other connections are made, NONE that connect to the Nano are made.

 

I've checked the following:

  • My package has pads which are named the same as pins on the schematic, and they are connected in the device definition view
  • Airwires *are* created to my Nano on board view. I assume this also demonstrates the package is set up correctly and the schematic wiring is connected up okay
  • This isn't a problem with space on the board. I've tested this in a simple board with one nano and one external LED. The LED route to ground is made, but autorouting to the Nano simply doesn't work
  • I've changed my grid and routing grid settings to 1 mil but still no joy
  • It's not even trying to connect any routes to my package. It fails reliably at 78.3% every time, regardless of the routing settings and layout
  • I've tested by replacing my Nano with a generic IC. The IC wires up fine in the same location and the routing succeeds at 100%

 

Help!

    Hi,

     

    if you run the DRC in this area. Are there any error messages reported?

     

    Regards,
    Richard

    Hi Richard

     

    The DRC checker returns

     

    ! Drill Distance

    ! Dimension

     

    for each of the arduino pins. Not sure why that might be? The package looks like this:

    Hi,

     

    please check the package definition.

    1) Are there two or more pads at the same position?

    2) Check the layer of the silk screen drawing. Is it layer 20?

     

    Reagrds,

    Richard

    Hi again

     

    1) Just checked all the pads, none are doubled-up or overlapping

    2) It seems the internal round circles for each pad is on layer 20, nothing else. Is that how it should be?

    This seems to be okay.  Please send me your library file. So I could take a look into it. Email: support@cadsoft.de

     

    Regards,

    Richard

    Hi I just sent it through to that address.

     

    I can also send the whole project if that helps?

    Hi,

     

    you have set HOLE on the PADs. This is the problem that cuses all your DRC errrors and the Autorouter not to connect. Please delete all holes in the package and then it will work.

    A PAD already has a drilling. There is no need for a separate hole.

     

    Regards,

    Richard

    I am Having the same problem wondering if you could provide details on how you managed to rectify this problem?

     

    I have tried Goggling "HOLE on the PADs" but have come up with nothing?

     

    Thank you in advanced
