Here are examples of the data needed to make two recent part requests (which neither request provided directly!)
The supplied image is at an angle and thus utterly useless to make a part. No other infromation provided, template deleted. The request for a data sheet got this dfrobot site:
this site provides this dimension data
but note the part layout is wrong! The sot23 shown is in fact from a flat image below a s0t23-5 (quite different!) To resolve that I needed to do a google search for “dfr sen0566” then switch to images and look for a flat image of the board (circled in green here)
which equates to this jpg image
which provides the placement of the components (and the fact that the sot23 in the dimension drawing is in fact a sot23-5!) which enabled the part to be made. With the dimensions the jpeg can be imported in to Inkscape then scaled to match the dimensions. It is then possible to use the jpeg to construct the part but we need that much information and it is preferred that you provide it because I often won’t take the time to search for it (as I don’t particularly want the part) that is up to you, your chances of getting a part are much better with adequate information.
The next example is this post
the supplied data sheet does not have the necessary information but the polulu web site does like this:
which yields these two documents which provide all the required information, in the resources section of the web site is
dual-g2-hpmd-18v18-24v14-raspberry-pi-dimensions.pdf
which provides a complete mechanical drawing with dimensions of the part and in the pictures section this jpeg image of the board which details the connector and component placement. Often web sites will not have this information, but then you need to use google to search for both sets of information (the physical size of the part and the flat not rotated image of the layout of the board) in order to make a part. The pictures area of the web site provides this jpeg image of the board which together with the mechanical data above provided enough information to make the board (although it took a couple of days to make as it is a large (107 connectors) complex part.
Hopefully we can somehow indicate (probably via examples like this as nothing else seems to be working!) people to provide the necessary information to make a part without having to ask specifically for it. I recognize (because I often have to do it!) that this information is difficult to find but you won’t get a part if we don’t have it.
