Hi Albin, I'm afraid KiCad is not yet aware of pad-stacks. The pad will be present on all your internal layers, and so the DRC is correctly warning you of the violation. It is best to plot one of the

Hi I have a six layer PCB with a connector using plated-through-hole mounting and would like to run traces between the holes in layer 2-5. In layer 1 and 6 the pads are to close to each other but in

Read the PDF documentation - watch the youtube demos, There are a bunch of notes I made as I learned it here: http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/Kicad The part you will spend some time on is creating

These were not transfers, they were paper outlines, usually double size. You had rows of dots on tape spaced at 0.2, double rows for DIL IC's and so on. The tape was thin rolls starting at about 1mm

I did try transfers. The problem was one never had quite the right transfer, so the resulting design looked awful. Also trying to get a straight track of just the right length was very, very fiddly.

Etch Resist pens and such were how many people started out. A VAST improvement after messing about with Veroboard :-) Have you ever tried REAL PCB layout, Lightboxes, Mylar sheets, stick-down "dots"

Well I did one pcb that way in college. But I was very impressed with the little 1 inch by 1 inch ADS1298 biopotential mesurement chip carrier. Carriers are great they let you prototipe with the

That brings back a memory or two :-) I started in much the same way 35+ years ago. I made loads of boards using the etch resist pen. Denco "Dalo" I might still have one around somewhere... I must

As Andy said, it is a big question. I started by reading about how to make my own PCBs in books and magazines, but that was back in the days when you drew circuits on to a copper-clad board with a pen

That's a big question.... Have you found: http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Mini_tutorial The tutorial that is in kicad is very old, but do run through it several times, using kicad is more

Hi, I recently got KiCad and am looking to become proficient in it. The tutorials seem very short and cursory. I have never designed a PCB but would like to learn. Can anyone point me in the right

I'm trying to get an IGES, STEP, or Pro/Engineer 3D file into PCBNew. I've tried gmsh to read the STEP file, which I can do, but the resulting exported VRML and STL files are skeleton files containing

I have a small display problem in PCBnew. My vias don't show up in translucent white like they should. Via holes do appear in black if set to do so, but the part that should be in white only appears

Hello Tony, I guess the best way of doing it within the framework of generic SPICE commands is to create an include file that simply remaps the parameter arguments. Example this works: STEP1: REMAP

Also! If you intend to use the board in a high G or rotating equipment, you need at least 1.5mm FR4 as well as being careful when placing heavy components. Even a lightwheight resistor becomes heavy

Yes, just use four arcs to create the board edges. In the past I found that the arcs were approximated by a relatively small number straight lines, creating something that looked like a circle with

Is it possible to make a circular printed circuit board using kicad?

The pin-array ones are OK; the ribbon headers (both right angle and vertical) are wrong too, I just made my own copies, fixed the holes, and renamed them. /mike

With pin headers you need to use modules from the pin_array library. Regards, Robert.

Hi there, I just received the PCBs from fabrication.. unfortunately I have a design flaw.. As I used SIL-6 & SIL-14 they have 0.032" drill holes which don't fit regular 0.1" square pin arrays which
