Hi Charles, That's great! This connector is already "ready-made". Excellent. Now I can use this connector in my design to represent the FoxBoard. Thanks very much for pointing this one out. Best rgds, --Geert --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, "rohchar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You can

The first time I used EeSchema's Bill-of-Materials button it prompted me for a Default list browser. I chose the wrong one :( I looked at all the menu choices to do a reset... no luck :( I have looked through all of the files changed since I made the selection, butI can find no reference to the Li

Hi, I'm using version 2006-08-28 (latest one, AFAIK). If I look to the library order, the power lib is indeed the first one. Let's do one experiment: I uploaded my personal lib to this forum: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/files/GeertVc/ Both .lib and .dcm are there. There ar

I removed the power symbol from power.lib and now my symbol does not show in the list. I am only seeing symbols from power.lib. I think if you remove power.lib from your library list, you will see the error message I mentioned previously. It appears to be a requirement that all the power symbols

Sorry, Was a bit a silly question from my side. First off, I don't have "implemented" the FoxBoard myself, so I should never represent the connectors of the FoxBoard in my schematics. I should only represent the in/outputs I'm using from the FoxBoard. Using a connector like you proposed, is OK

Hi, Thanks for the proposal. I've currently done it like this in EeSchema: 1. Representation of the FoxBoard on the root sheet (not all FoxBoard pins are there, since I don't need them all): http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=foxboardrootsheetcz1.png 2. Representation of the "inner" FoxB

Hi, how do you intend to connect the daugter board to your application ? Using two 40-way ribbon cable ? Just put 2 40-pin connectors in your design (CONN_20X2). Or using two 40 pin dual row straight headers ? You can do same as above, or better, create your specific symbol and a module includi

Hi, I would like to represent a "ready made" PCB (FoxBoard, for the ones interested...), which has the following functionality: - 2x USB connection - 1x Ethernet connection - 1x RS232 connection - 1x BabyAtx supply connector I was thinking to create a separate sheet on the root sheet, but can I

Something else which might have played a role in your way of working: Have you tried to remove the power symbol which is present in the power lib? I did some exercise again after your post and my reply and tried to have an own +12V power supply. I followed the procedure as explained in my previo
