LoRa E32-433T30D

As a beginner, I just created the part “LoRa E32-433T30D” and wanted to publish it. The PCB-view looks bad and surely I need some advices about it.

Note: I edited the files in this link to make this part, How to add osoyoo LoRa Module - #2 by vanepp

Not a bad job. The full tutorial set which describes the entire process (including testing the finished part) is available here:

Part creation howto part 1 breadboard and pcb

Someone in this forum post requested help to fix up a part. So while doing that I decided to record what I needed to do in order to fix the part to provide a tutorial to create new / fix broken parts. If you start from the Tarjeta S4A EDU.fzpz file posted in the above thread, you should be able to recreate my improved part posted in the same thread. I started by loading the original part in to Fritzing, that indicates breadboard is (at first look anyway) pretty good, but schematic and pcb are…

that said your problem in pcb is that the pins need to be a donut with a stroke-width so rather than

which is a pad which will not generate a hole in the gerber file, it needs to add a stroke and stroke-width attribute and the fill attribute set to none like this:

Your pcb svg is the incorrect scale (how to rescale it is in the tutorial along with how to set the hole size assuming you are using Inkscape as your svg editor) so the hole size will likely be incorrect here. At the correct scale (1 drawing unit = 1/1000in) the stroke-width should be 20 to set a 20 thou pad around the hole. In this case the hole size should be 0.038in to be correct to take a 0.1in header (and as noted the hole generated by this change is probably not correct!)
