What about the printed coils?

[Mongo]

Hi, you all !!! Day after day I try to improve my knowledgment about this wonderful piece of programming…
But there is a question, still remaining for me: I wonder how I could include a printed coiled (beforehand calculated).Could I "paste"a scaled picture of my coil, shoud I treat it like a new component in my library??
Many thanks for your care

I’d recommend using it as a new component. I’ve used KicadModTree succesfully as a Rogowski coil generator. If I find the time, I’ll polish the code and publish it.

Edit: changed the link to properly show main page of the plugin

It would be nice if the GitHub code had a Readme file saying what it was about

It has https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-footprint-generator/blob/master/README.md

There is the following utility

erichVK5/SpiralInductorFootprintGenerator

which can do the calculations for n-gon spiral inductors

and can export in kicad .mod format.

The guesstimated (using the equations for a circular coil) parameters for the above coil are:

Calculated inductance (Henries): 5.1530798890899644E-5
Calculated inductance (uH): 51.5308
Calculated self resonant frequency (Hz): 4457487
Calculated self resonant frequency (MHz): 4.4575

Enjoy responsibly.

Hello!
Many thanks for your kind responces !
I don’t know if I’ll be able to compile, but I’ll try, for sure
