2019年7月1日 · KiCad. Some of the tutorials are for version 4 and some for version 5 and I am going nuts. I have read that I am not alone. The resizing of symbols is a small issue compared to the library confusion. It would be so nice to see a tutorial on setting up the libraries with KiCad / Digi-Key / Ultra Librarian. This is the first thing a beginner ...

2019年8月1日 · There are several different ways to manage third party libraries like this one. Using git clone is a great way to keep it up to date. How you decide to manage the library(s) within KiCad is open to debate, but the way I prefer to use them is to pull them in to the Project Libraries, that way they are managed separately from the default libraries, this can be done as such: git …

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 …

2019年6月26日 · Hi: I downloaded the Digikey parts library for KiCad… this is my first pass at using KiCad… major frustration so far. The footprint images are supposed to be “.pretty” files? When I expand the downloaded Digikey library I find .mod files, not .pretty. What am I missing here? So far I have created a schematic but have had no luck associating schematic parts to …

2024年1月5日 · When I use the AD1938WBSTZ in KiCAD, I get all sorts of errors and warnings when I run the ERC. For instance I get “Warning: Pins of type Unspecified and Passive are connected” and “Error: Input pin not driven by any Output Power pins”. I am just wondering if the EDA/CAD models are meant to be taken as absolutely accurate according to the components …

2024年5月27日 · ** The plugin has been tested using KiCad 9.0 with no issues ** This addon helps you collect parts in your KiCad schematic file and push them to DigiKey myLists. With your BOM in myLists you can calculate attrition, find and assign alternatives, add assembly counts, and more. It is assumed that you have already completed the schematic in KiCad and …

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

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?
