2019年7月1日 · Thanks for your response Brian. I have been trying to fit my circuit components (symbols) on a ‘B’ size (11 x 17") sheet as that is as large as my printer handles. Some of the symbols are drawn much wider than necessary and become space hogs. It would be nice to reduce them on one axis, but maybe that is asking too much. After my first post I discovered …

2019年12月1日 · Hello! I am very new to KiCad, but have been able to successfully build and simulate simple circuits using passives. I’ve added a MOSFET to a simple circuit and started to get errors when I run the ngspice simulation. I started by installing KiCad 5.1.5 from their website. I then installed the digikey library per this post: The MOSFET I’ve added is AO3401A from the …

2023年8月25日 · Hi: I have just downloaded Kicad 7. My new board needs to have Thermal relief for High Power white LEDs soldered on the front layer with copper thermal dissipation via the Rear filled layer. I have been Unable to figure this out, do I use vias or another transfer mechanisms to accomplish this? The back layer is a no-net. Driving me crazy! Thanks, Tom

2019年6月26日 · KiCad has its own learning curve. Most of us that use it here were frustrated at first too, but it gets better. .pretty isn’t actually a file extension, it’s a directory name. The directory called digikey-footprints.pretty is what KiCad is looking for. The .pretty folder contains .mod files which are individual footprints, but KiCad loads the whole library of footprints with one .pretty ...

2022年5月19日 · In Altium its possible to just fish up the symbols and footprints using the DigiKey partnr etc. I have tried to import the KiCad Digikey libs but it seems not all products are in those on the git. Using this git link Are all the DigiKey components supposed to be in that lib? Or how is just a handful in those libs?

2022年6月7日 · Hello KKallela Thank you for the inquiry, if you have checked the KiCad Libraries for this part layout here - KiCad Library | DigiKey, and it was not listed. This would be a great opportunity to learn how to make your own layouts. This layout should be a fairly simple design. The pin spacing can be found on the datasheet here Carbon_Preset_E_HA06-1.pdf (kyocera …
