Excellent work, brother. I can't imagine how long I have searched for good tutorials to learn PCB design. This is splendid work that you are sharing. I am glad that I came to know about this channel, and I hope I can learn and gain the skill.
Wow! Very Impressive Tutorials in this playlist. All aspects of PCB designs covered. Great work ji. Proud to learn from this site to enhance my knowledge on KiCad 7. Please can you do a much needed videos on explaining as many ERC errors and how to overcome these errors. Now that would conclude your addition to a truly comprehensive learnings. Look forward to more of your great videos on forthcoming KiCad upgrade too.
@@pcbcupid Looking forward to it. I used to be a Eagle user, but recently switched over to KiCad and these videos are taking me through a small project as I learn the new environment :).
@@1ashutosh If you are getting from local market, it would be very hard to find datasheet. So first get the components on hand and measure them before making the PCB
Can I share my 9V charger project with you? I'd like you to review it and let me know if it looks good. I'll share the schematic with you. Thanks in advance!
The footprint you used for switch is not in my footprint library. I am using kicad 8.01 Is it normal to not have some footprints in different versions?
@@pcbcupid the CuK one. When you opened its image, I managed to find a really similar one in appearance. The only difference I noticed were the names of the footprints
Hello. 6.03, for me kicad7 does not show 3d model resistor, onle show footprint, in your case you see both - a footprint and a 3d_resistor model.... what did i wrong ?
There are multiple reasons, it could be 3d files weren't installed during the KiCad installation process or it could be you have move the 3d files and folders else where. You can still manually assign them or you can just reinstall KiCad.
Very few of my footprints are showing up and following the directory it takes me straight to where they are but KiCad isn't recognizing them to open the files it seem.
@@pcbcupid I downloaded kicad for the first time this past week and even the footprints that came with the download won't show. Basicallyi believe they should all be up to date. Seems like in some menus they do but I finished my schematic and they won't show there.
I figured it out. I think it needed to load some components and also you can't just right click the object you have to click a related component AND THEN right click to view the component.
Bro I'm facing a problem in schematic editor When we go to assign footprints and then choose any footprint and go to 'view selected footprint' then there no footprint loads nor in the 3D also. I'm currently using version 8.0.1 Please help
Bro I also had the same problem...Just see if any component is selected before clicking 'view selected footprint'. First select the component then click on it.
Is it possible to look for a particular footprint? eg, say I want to create a new transistor component that is not in the library, say T03 package, can I look to see if any other transistor has this footprint and then copy that for my new part? Thanks a lot
Yes! You can assign different footprint to your new transistor. Under these condition : they have should have similar pinouts and same footprint dimensions.
You can do that by using circuit array. Select the footprint that you want in a circular manner and use the shortcut CTRL+T. This will open a pop up window. In this window make sure to select the circuit array tab. -> Set the horizontal distance from the footprint (Use the Global X and Y position on the bottom status bar) -> Set the Vertical distance from the footprint (Use the Global X and Y position on the bottom status bar) This values will setup the centre for your circular layout -> Set the angle for each generated footprint -> Set the number of footprint that needs to be generated -> Turn on rotate if you need the footprints to align with the circular layout Initially this might seem little difficult, but once you play around with the setting you will understand much better.

Outstanding work! Explained very well!
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos are super helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!!
Thanks for the great, up-to-date tutorial.

Users posts many issues related to KiCad (some of them are related to ERC)
Great tutorial. Looking forward to the next video!
Glad you liked it, More videos coming soon!

@@Glitzerstrahl Glad it's helpful. KiCad is fun, definitely worth trying!
@@pcbcupid i confuce in foot print slection. like spl. on size issue. because if i took components from my lical market how to ensue about right size

Thanks, exactly the explanation I needed
Glad it was helpful!
Great videos.
Glad you like them!
i cant find slide switch footprint in the video in kicad 8.0 . what should i do?

That would be great! please share it in our forum : forum.pcbcupid.com
@@pcbcupid sure thanks Alot Brother May God fullfill all of your needs and wishes
The footprint you used for switch is not in my footprint library. I am using kicad 8.01
Is it normal to not have some footprints in different versions?
Yes sometimes, but most of the time they will remain the same. Can you point out which footprint you are talking about?

Was the footprint made with older version of KiCad?
KiCad 7 doesn't support footprint that's built in KiCad version 5 or less.

شكرا Thanks
Your welcome!
My update PCB from schematic is greyed out. What should I do?
You can update the PCB directly on the PCB editor.
Thanks for great video
pls make video on how to smd led place in rounded manner
You can do that by using circuit array.
Select the footprint that you want in a circular manner and use the shortcut CTRL+T.
This will open a pop up window. In this window make sure to select the circuit array tab.
-> Set the horizontal distance from the footprint (Use the Global X and Y position on the bottom status bar)

This values will setup the centre for your circular layout
-> Set the angle for each generated footprint
-> Set the number of footprint that needs to be generated
-> Turn on rotate if you need the footprints to align with the circular layout
Initially this might seem little difficult, but once you play around with the setting you will understand much better.
