What is the distance of the ICSP pins and the D0 and A5 pins of an Arduino Mega?

I cannot find the specific distance between the ICSP pins, placed central on the board, towards the pins of on eighter side of the Arduino Mega.
On eighter side there is the D0 and A5 respectfully.
I’m having a hard time finding the right distance to create my Shield.

Does anyone have this distances?
Or even a schematic with all the measurements?

Kind regards,
Fantomaz

Have You tried the technical documentation for the Arduino Mega? The data You ask for can’t be a secret.

I did ran through the Datasheet of the Arduino, if thats what you mean…

Its position is the same distance from D0 and A5 as it is in the Uno footprint. Otherwise, what would be the point?

20.32 mm

2.54mm

Search: "ICSP 6-pin header" 6 Pin (2x3) ICSP Stacking Headers for Arduino

What was that (20.32mm)?

5 seconds??

What is your search criteria? :face_with_peeking_eye:

But seriously, thanks!!

distance from icsp pin to D0.

I try that this way:

Google, place in search line Arduino Mega footprint hit enter, click Pictures and it was like 3. from begin :slight_smile:

Oh. The request was "distance between ICSP pins" those 6-pin programming headers have been around since before I started doing things... like pre-'80s

Then I have some reading disorder and made up the D0 ...

I see now. D0 and A5 were a second question... for orientation of the header... different from distance between pins.

You got it in 1. :slight_smile: Though for me it was #2, and the first that had X/Y positions for all the headers.

Ok, the information is readily available, but for non native english speaking person finding right keywords can be more difficult and "footprint" sounds something very much different from technical dimensioned drawing.

Can’t you import a Mega shield footprint for your CAD software and avoid all this?

English is my 4. language.

And footprint is is usual term for how are pins placed and what place parts occupy, at least in KiCad, which is SW for making PBC (and before in Eagle) and probabely in majority of others similar products, as wel as in PBC manufacturers, as well as on many forums.

Try to search forum here for footprint and you will get lot of threads with this word in title and many more with it in body.

All connectors on the board, with the exception of the header that starts with digital pin 8 and ends with SCL, are on a 2.54mm / 0.10" grid. Unfortunately the spacing between digital pin 7 and digital pin 8 is 0.160", a very non-standard amount that originated from an error with the early UNO board.

Thank you.

Fotoprint is the magic word, it seems!:heart:

Possibly…

I'm not that into -in my case- Kicad yet.

My project isn't that hard. And the distance between the headers on the outline are easy copied. Finding the center pins on aboard is somewhat harder.

Funny thing.

I'm OK with English, overall.

But certain words just aren't logical.

Coincidentaly, in my occupation we have maps that point out the trajectory of cables.

That is called footprint as well. The icon is two feet on a circle. Me, thinking in pictures, visualizing it has someting to do with feet, on a map, and walking from point to point.

Feet, in relation to a PCB, would be unlogical in my case. :wink: Nevertheless… yeah footprint is logical if one leaves out the feet thingy.
