Dear, Although I have difficulty with English which is not my language, even then this video is easy to understand. This is a fantastic and productive work that will help many hobbyists and technicians. This software that is becoming the best schematic tool and boards that exist in the world. thank you and best regards
Awsome job Skinny. I've tried a few PCB/Schem programs and never liked any of them. So I thought I would give KiCad a try. Thanks for making the tutorials it really helps. The only thing I don't like about KiCad is the download time. It's going on an hour now and has about 9 hours to go. Either they're doing computer maintenance or they have a huge influx of users. My son tried it on his computer and the same thing for him too. It's about as fast as dial up right now. So I'm watching your videos and some others as well. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya
Hi . Thankyou so much for demystifying some of the little details for me . I have learnt alooooot from check your series on this . A subscription from me well earned. Anyways a very small enquiry if you please. Say for instance i placed down a quad op amp using, A, B, C, and D , is it necessary i tie all the indiviual op amps to the required power. Or can i get away with just doing one ?
Skinny, your tutorial is great and easy to follow and I gave you a thumbs up. I had 1 concern and that's finding the correct footprints. The DIP-8_300 is not available for me, however i found something similar called Pin_Header_Angled_2x04, which has same pin arrangement but part looks slightly different. Would this still work? Same idea with the 10uF caps.
If you are looking for a layout for the 8-pin chip, I would use the PDIP-8 in the Power_Integrations library. For the capacitor, look in the Discrete library. There are some round, electrolytic layouts there.
Problem: When I click on "run CvPcb, my schematic doe not show anywhere on the page and no footprints show - do they have to be downloaded first? If so, how? PLEASE, anyone, this program (v5) is driving me crazy because I cannot get past this stage
Great videos thanks. Is there a way of viewing the footprints without having to open every single one of them? I am looking for a footprint of a NPN 2N3904
