SSOP24 is 2mm wider on the outside of the pads. I think there might be enough pad size to ensure some pad under the pin. But, I would to know someone else has...
I had the same issue on my brand new laptop on Windows 7 64 bits. The "interf_u.brd" took many seconds to display or refresh. We can see the lines draw one by...
Thankyou!!!! This was causing me much frustration as a first time user of Kicad on a test project over the last few days, while I can put up with a few of...

Hello, I want to change from the standard A4 page in PCBnew to an A3 page. Can I do that and how ? I want to make an adapter (for plug-ins) that is 35...
Hi all ! Progressing on my project, I have a question about component/library management. The "Component list" feature of eeschema is quite convenient but is...
OK, forget about it ... It's too late anyway ;) But if that could raise an interesting discussion on how you manage components on your side, that could be...
I am doing the same thing. The fastest way I could find to do it is to edit directly the eeschema library file with a text editor. Sincerely Thierry _____ ...

Component management is always a problem, and the question really is, is the parts in eeschema the right place to do this? There are probably as many answers...

I noticed that at the bottom of the screen there are two boxes which display coordinates, one with X Y coordinates, the other with x y coordinates. (Note the...

Hi, I found my problem . I was just using the global labels, thinking it was enough to connect the bus between sheets, it was not. So for each global label , I...

I have been trying mightily to convert a schematic and netlist from Eagle to Kicad without success even though it appears from the Kicad docs that this should...
I have just started looking for this precise thing, a way to specify the manufacturers part number as a standard field for the part. Thank you Brian for that...
To Whom It May Concern: I have been forced to switch from Eagle to Kicad because of the limited board space allowed. It is my greatest hope that it will not...
Hello fellow users. I'm on my 3rd Kicad design now, for me it works well. I have a question though, is it possible to add either vector or bitmap graphics to...
It might be useful if the group moderators could take a moment or two to prune some of the more "interesting" links from the group link area. Many of them seem...
For power connections I generally use wider tracks than signal connections. Where the power track is connected to a fine pitch component the track needs to...
Yes, someone wrote an AWK script to do this. I couldn't find it with the Yahoo search engine but Google tracked it down. I think the following post is the...
Hi Robert! You can specify custom track widths in the global design rules, after you made it, you can select them from the drop down list. BR: András 2010/4/6...
