Is it possible to design a bridge of pin headers ?

Hi,

I'm working to design a development board for an Arduino nano which has difference displays header pins + header pins for different sensors and modules.

The issue now is that I want to design a complete set of female headers which can work with multiple sensors and modules and since they are differ in their set of pins. So the way to design a header pin which can adapt different modules is to put 3 header pins which work like this:

I want to do this as a complete module so I don't have to do it every time. Is it possible to design it as a schematic module ?

You can make a Schematic Module and also a PCB Module.

See the Tutorial for more about Modules.

@andyfierman Where is the tutorial ?

Because I tried to do it in the schematic module design but didn't work.

The wires don't contact. I can't wire the pins together.

You can find the Tutorial here:

To get modules to connect you need to follow the rules on the schematic module construction and the naming process when you place the PCB modules.

It's a while since I used them but I think the module naming process will sort out any issue of duplicated net names. Check them carefully in both schematic and then PCB and manually rename any conflicts.

"...and manually rename any conflicts..."

...in the schematic then do **Update PCB... ** to pass them into the PCB Editor.

@andyfierman Got the idea ! Thank you very much.

I also got to know other stuff; like, solder mask layer, layers, copper flood ... etc. Very interesting !

Hi,

I tried to add the extra pin headers in the PCB design but they duplicate the connections with the schematic module.

I want the header schematic to be connected with only one header port in the pcb footprint.

This is an effort to design a header bridge for connecting different sensors or modules which can have different pin mapping system. Like the difference between MPU6050 and GY-85 pin set.

OK, I solved the problem.

I just have to delete the pin numbering in the pcb design for the pins I don't want to be connected with the schematic module.
