You showed me the best design I'm proud of you my dear friend You are a great designer
Thank this helped me know where to start.
At 5:38 it took me a bit to understand what "frame" was about. It is the schematic border and the title block. I was confused abut the Adafruit stuff which I would guess is a logo and more.
The frame is a border and has letter and number coordinate axis which helps when you are trying to describe to someone where a component is located on an image of the schematic. The title block works with KiCad properties for describing the document.
I love the design of this project
Great Info!
Thank you my dear friend
Yeah, this feature is one of those ones that sounds great in theory but in practice it is laced with gotchas and is probably left best treated as a read-only sort of deal, anything more than minor adjustments would constitute a ripup and redoing the whole thing, probably.
this video prompted me to try and import from eagle to kicad 5.99. it worked well; however, kicad didn't take into account the attribute origin (it assumes bottom left of text = origin) so some silk screen gets misaligned. other than that i was impressed with how well it went
Awesome! I didn't try it myself, yet. But KiCad was so easy to use I just started with new projects and never looked back. With cheap 4 layer PCB of today signal integrity is possible and KiCad just works for my use cases :-)
Does Kicad have a usable library import function?
I got 10 years of personal Eagle libs.
finallyyy
The importer seems to be a bit better in 5.99. It imports my BMP200 layers correctly there.
Yeah, seems like I need to fire up my VM and make a follow up video!
any of you all having trouble with fields disappearing? Like you go add some field to a component, and then the text disappears, but still takes?
define "field"
@@ikbendusan Like "preferences -> field name template" in eechema, but I think it's happened in other places with similar interfaces. Often the last field you interacted with reverts to blank when it loses focus. On ubuntu kicad 5.1.9
Similar to my last project
Is there any tool to import from Kikad to Eagle?
one sided love
@@anunaccountablescience6464 What ? Wrong crowd ? :)
@@starlino i looked that in autodesk forms before , it appears that they must support the feature in order for that to happen , since that Kicad project format is not standard in code, it can't be supported at the moment. but they will support it in future versions
it say command not found ?
Try the import in nightly. It has been vastly improved (better silkscreen import including overlines, user-mappable layers, correct font size, etc)
Yeah, we need to get making some of the v6 videos! Looking forward to trying that out.
also plz say "keycad" instead of "kaicad" :D
