Connecting two different pins including rotation

[Matthew Delaney]

Hi, I had hoped this was simple but I’ve tried a few things and am a bit stuck.

I have a cell that is essentially a taper (called “taper” my example code) that I want to call in other cells. Pin ‘a0’ is on the wider side, and pin ‘b0’ is on the thinner side. I want to call this cell, but be able to connect either pin to a waveguide, including the rotation.

taper.put(waveguide.pin['b0'])

works as expected with the ‘a0’ pin of the taper connected to the waveguide. However I don’t see an easy way to connect the waveguide pin ‘b0’ to the taper pin ‘b0’ in a way that would rotate the taper by 180 degrees. I hope this is clear, if not I can provide some diagrams.

Thanks!

taper.put(waveguide.pin['b0'])

taper.put(waveguide.pin['b0']) #should connect pin 'a0' of the taper to the waveguide

Dear Matthew,

The standard way to do this is shown in the example below.

import nazca as nd

 

s = nd.strt(100, width=2).put(0, 0)  # default connecting pin is 'b0'

# connects default s.pin['b0'] to default taper 'a0'

nd.taper(width1=2, width2=10, length=100).put()

 

s = nd.strt(100, width=2).put(0, 20)  # default connecting pin is 'b0'

# connects default s.pin['b0'] to taper 'b0'

nd.taper(width1=2, width2=10, length=100).put('b0')

 

s = nd.strt(100, width=2).put(0, 40)  # default connecting pin is 'b0'

# connects s.pin['a0'] to default taper 'a0'

nd.taper(width1=2, width2=10, length=100).put(s.pin['a0'])

 

s = nd.strt(100, width=2).put(0, 60)  # default connecting pin is 'b0'

# connects s.pin['a0'] to taper 'b0'

nd.taper(width1=2, width2=10, length=100).put('b0', s.pin['a0'])

 

nd.export_plt()

Thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for.
