I´m doing my first Eagle PCB prototyping and I find it very interesting. Most things going well, but I’m having a struggle with the JST battery connector in the SparkFun library.
When in Schematic view, I’ve attached GND to the - side of the connector, and a +5V to the positive side. Everything well so far. But, when switching to board view, the GND and +5V have switched and the positive side of the JST is suddenly wired to my other GND-connections.
My only solution so far is to reverse the JST in Schematic view, attaching GND to the +side and +5V to the -side. This renders the board properly, but I want a nice schematic to present to others.
Is this a known problem? I know I’m a total noob right now, but I’m learning… At work right now, will provide images when I get home.
Not sure, but thinking about it, could the part be on the opposite side of the board than what you think? for example, if it was on the top, but you think it was on the bottom, it would look like it was revered with +ve and GND swapped.
If you choose the move tool, then middle click the mouse, does it flip over and look correct?
not sure this is what’s going on, just trying to think outside the square.
Were you able to figure out the problem/solution. I too am seeing the same problem. From what I can tell, the schematic appears to be the opposite of what it should be. I have a batter on order, perhaps once I recieve it, the wiring on the connector will tell the correct pin out for connect on board.
If you figured it out, please let me know.
I’m not sure the previous post holds water as this is SMT component.
Are you referring to M02-JST-2MM-SMT? The + on the schematic isn’t the + terminal, its the place holder for the symbol itself. Definitely confusing, use the symbols from the board layout to get the correct connection.
