Make pad hand solder friendly with kicad-footprint-generator

Layout Footprints
1

The footprint generator comes from https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-footprint-generator.git.
I’m trying to make a SOJ-28 footprint where the pads are made for hand-soldering but I can’t figure out how to do that with ipc_gullwing_generator.py using size_definitions/soj.yaml and the 36 pin foot print as a template.
I’ve tried to add “pad_length_addition: 0.5” in the soj.yml file but it didn’t seem to make any difference.
The file attached is the original SOJ-36 and my SOJ-28 footprint description.

soj.yaml (874 Bytes)

Increase the toe fillet size in the IPC settings responsible for your part. Somewhere in this file: https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-footprint-generator/blob/master/scripts/Packages/ipc_definitions.yaml
