Temperature_Sensors -> MCP9804_DFN has wrong package

[svollenweider]

The MCP9804_DFN has the wrong package (3x3 DFN). The correct package would be

Package_DFN_QFN:DFN-8-1EP_3x2mm_P0.5mm_EP1.3x1.5mm

Confirmed.

The current package is completely wrong. However, neither your suggestion nor DFN-8-1EP_3x2mm_P0.5mm_EP1.75x1.45mm which we have for Microchip's MC package is completely correct.
Both are within the EP tolerance and so are both acceptable, but the best solution would be to generate a new footprint using the generator at https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-footprint-generator/tree/master/scripts/Packages/Package_NoLead__DFN_QFN_LGA_SON. Would you be willing to do that?

Hey
I added a package with a 1.4mm x 1.7mm base under this pull request

KiCad/kicad-footprints#2284

I will also create a pull request for the generator, if desired

[chschlue]

Yes, absolutely.
In fact, we generally trust the generator's correctness and actually check its input instead of its output to review scripted FP additions.

Here you go

Thanks.

FP merged. Are you going to update the symbol, too?
