Floppy connector un-f*ck pcb
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2018 1:14 pm
Thanks to Icky for unravelling this connector chaos..I have started in a new un-f*ck PCB... Highlighted below are just the GND connections to illustrate the changes which matched the image provided by Icky.
I have checked all the other pins and all seemed to be swapped out correctly...
What seems to have happened is my connector pinout was actually correct..
But electrically what I had labelled as pin one for example, was actually pin three electrically in the schematic.
Problem being while I labelled up the correct pins in the PCB part, and the correct pins in the schematic part and labelled up correctly, there was a third connection for electrically connecting the pins between schematic and PCB part,which I must have forgot to do (again) I really wish there was a better editor in Eagle. One where everything is just on one screen rather than flicking around all sorts of screens and boxes to make all the connections
As before, I will post the PCB file here (Hopefully later today) so anyone who wants to order them can do so.
