| Aug 8 at 11:46 | comment | added | Daniel | Okay, what I found strange is that it seems like the person who created the library made the footprint with slightly different dimensions than those in the datasheet. They used measurements in mils, but the datasheet is in millimeters. As in the example I gave, the pads have a difference of up to 2 mils in size; if rounded, it would be 16 mils and not 14. I understand the difference is small, but I don't understand why they did it this way—if there was a specific reason for it. | |
