footprint

From Molex 3D model 1719710005

Open questions:

  • Fitting short and long name
  • Should the gaps on the upper side be visualized? If yes, how? Create two gaps in the blue line of the F.SilkS layer?
  • I uses the conn_molex_mega-fit_tht_top_dual_row.py as template for the new generator module. Not all value calculation was clear for me. e.g. the size of the pads. Should be checked.

The current generator version can be found at https://github.com/waschhauser/kicad-footprint-generator

If I now what must the changed then I also will try the extend the generator for the Molex SL 171972 connectors.
