Unable to connect signals vias harness
« on: August 14, 2024, 03:48:31 pm »
Hello,

I've been struggling to get some signals from a multi channel design to connect using harness.
In principle there are 37 signals which have to be connect to diode arrays, but Altium somehow does not create the connection in the layout.
Below you can find a picture of the connections.
Another thing bothering me, is that Altium shows that the signals coming from the diode array are not connected to anything and that the net labels for the signals coming from the LED are out of range.
Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks

I see a couple problems in your screenshots:

  • Bus label syntax uses two dots between the numbers, not three.  For example the `LED_I[1...10]` net label should be `LED_I[1..10]`.  I think this is causing the "Bus index out of range" warnings.
  • The labels for the nets coming off of those buses don't match the names created by the bus label.  `LED_I[1...10]` creates a bus with entries called `LED_I1`, `LED_I2`, etc, (as you can see those names in altium_3.png) but you have the nets labeled `LED_I_1`, `LED_I_2`, etc, so these won't connect. It also looks like some of the net labels have underscores and some have spaces, but that could be a weird image artifact.  That would be causing the "NET ____ has only one pin" errors
