(version 1) # SP1 edge-connector (J3): the gold fingers must reach the board edge to make # contact in the GameCube slot, so copper-to-edge clearance is intentionally # relaxed for this footprint only. This is by design, not a defect. # Test BOTH items because the violated pair is (Edge.Cuts segment of J3) vs (pad # of J3) - the edge segment is item A, the pad is item B. (rule "SP1 gold fingers - allow copper to board edge" (condition "A.memberOfFootprint('J3') || B.memberOfFootprint('J3')") (constraint edge_clearance (min -0.5mm))) # Power-integrity: flag any power-rail track narrower than its netclass width. # A netclass "track width" is only the DEFAULT for new routing - KiCad does NOT # enforce it - so without these rules an under-width power trace passes DRC # silently. These make DRC surface every thin power segment so they don't have to # be found by eye. Severity is "warning" (not error) so an unavoidable neck into a # fine-pitch pin is flagged for review but never blocks fab export.
