Hi, You are a Godsend soul. Thank you very much for the tutorial. It is very helpful. Was stumbling at the mistake at 2:50. Glad somebody already pointed it. God Bless you.
Thank you so much for these videos. I just started learning KiCAD and your videos are such a helpful guide. My version of KiCAD is 7.0, but I don't have the graphics tools feature, so I couldn't separate the circuit in sections as you did. Please how can i get the graphics tools on my version? Thanks
You're very welcome! That's because of the screen resolution; it will be available on a bigger screen. Alternatively, you can find them under "place" menu.
Excellent series of video. Helps a lot to understand KiCAD in a short time. I'm a novice in PCB and in KiCAD. However it's not very important but I would draw your attention to a small mistake exchanging pin3 (MIC) for pin2 while making this schematic pretty (around slider postion 2:50)
Glad you liked the series! Thanks for pointing out the mistake. Currently we have placed order for the same circuit in the video, we'll try to update the code for the same.
I know a lot of Engineers like me despise the overuse of nets to avoid connecting components/symbols. I think there should be a law that if the schematic can fit on one sheet, you are required to connect everything with wires so you can see exactly how the circuit is connected. Having to play a game of "connect the dots" to try and find where one net starts and then jumps somewhere else is not clear or intuitive. Using "hanging nets" IMHO should be reserved for complicated circuits with too many overlapping wires where the amount of connections overrides the simplicity of seeing the actual connections.
nice explanation i really loved it i want to learn how to create a circuit by own ,how to know which resistor should be used or which ic should be used
For LED as a netname of connection it is still shows Net-(D1-A). it should show connection name as LED instead. I am using kicad 7 on mac os ventura. can somebody help here.
Not to nitpick, but... your connections were not the same before and after you eliminated all the explicit wires. Look at the connections to pin 7 and 3 of the ATTiny85.
The connections are made internally by KiCad based on the net names. This is not always necessary; you can connect everything traditionally with wires, but this method will help you keep the circuit clutter-free.
