[kicad-users] Wish list for the Library Editor

Hello KiCad Users and Developers, I am a new user of KiCAD and don't know where to post this. Using Win32 KiCad 20090216-RC6. And kudos to the authors of this amazing program. I struggled a bit trying to add a component to the library and I feel the .pdf could use a little more explanation and

Re: [kicad-users] Absolute and relative Path

Short solution would be a subst to a virtual drive. Thus moving the contents only requires to change the subst command. I work with that any time on Windows for my projects (programming) and it also works at least with CVS managed projects. Lothar Am 20.04.2009 um 22:47 schrieb cklckl67: >

[kicad-users] Absolute and relative Path

Dear all, Is there a possibility to work with relative directory in Kicad. In fact, in some cases it works very fine, in other not. For example, to add my libraries to my project, I modified my project file like following. [eeschema/libraries] LibName1=../lib/power.lib LibName2=../lib/regul.lib

Re: [kicad-users] KICAD success stories ?

Do a Google search on DG8SAQ or/and the VNWA2 Vector Analyzer. The pcb is visible on some photo's. The pcb and all the schematics where done with KiCad. //Dan, M0DFI On Monday 20 April 2009 15:24:42 Lothar Behrens wrote: > Hi, > > is there any resource for success stories about using KICAD?

Re: [kicad-users] KICAD success stories ?

Thanks. If comparing the Samsung 2442 chip pin distance of 0.8 millimeter, creating a module in KICAD would be doable. (http://www.opatnet.cz/elektronika/datasheet/U/um_s3c2442b_rev12.pdf) Here are the other components that are used in the FreeRunner: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunn

Re: [kicad-users] KICAD success stories ?

Lothar: I use KICAD to design all of my boards. They vary from DIP parts down to fine pitch (.020" pitch) parts. A PDF of the schematic and board layout for each of my boards is available on my website. Dave - WB6DHW Lothar Behrens wrote: > Hi, > > is there any re

Re: [kicad-users] Newbie to both PCDing and Kicad

something rather odd is going on with your install I think. I've never seen mouse tracks as such, Plenty of messy lines that don't get deleted and such like, but never mouse tracks. Likewise the polygon issue. I take it that you mean when drawing the board outline and such like? One tip regardin

Re: [kicad-users] Newbie to both PCDing and Kicad

Thanks Andy I had to make my own packages - but used the Kicad and the external Libs as the source for the schematic for the SO8 NE555 etc and other common packages I am using. Maybe I will try using devices from the default libs just to see if they connect. I could not set the second point in

[kicad-users] KICAD success stories ?

Hi, is there any resource for success stories about using KICAD? Not only what company but also what circuit / application and what package density / types used. I am asking again, because I would wish to see some projects about targeting mobile phone / smart phone or PDA like complexity. (Es

[kicad-users] Re: Editing hotkeys

This is a "me-too" reply. The "Allowed keys:" section in the eeschema.key file is very handy, but without a corresponding "Allowed commands" section, it's useless. I tried reading the code to find the commands, but couldn't find anything that led me to a comprehensive list. I _really_ want to

Re: [kicad-users] Newbie to both PCDing and Kicad

Making a pin passive does not change the connection status. It will still require a wire to it. If you really do not want to use a pin, then all you need to do is place a no connect flag on it, (the blue X 9th icon down on the right hand side) Are you using KiCad libraries or stuff imported from
