Re: SMT-to-DIP 3d models
You can make your own - produce a PCB with the chip on it and header, ensure edge cuts are in the right place, move things around in 3D to look like you want and then export as a 3D model, step, wrl

SMT-to-DIP 3d models
I'm working on a board that includes some SMT-to-DIP adapters because of some parts that are available only in surface-mount packages. Has anyone created 3D models of such DIP adapters? If it's not

Re: Kicad on a Chrome Book
As it happens I've just moved from SUSE linux to Debian 11 If you want kicad 6 then you need to add the backport repository, which has it available. Andy "Jerry Gaffke via groups.io"

Re: Kicad on a Chrome Book
Al, Thanks for responding. No DE?? What does that mean? Perhaps "Debian Experimental", so you just stuck with the Kicad 5 that came with "apt install kicad"? Kicad 6 has some major improvements.

This is the only hit I see in the group when searching for "crostini", so thought it worth updating. Ian pasted the same text twice, so his instructions are impossible to follow. Here's my shot at

problem connecting wires in schematic
I've used v 5.x in the past, just updated to v6.x. I can't seem to get wires to connect in schematic. Zoomed in and changed grid settings. Went back to default settings. I'm sure it something simple.

The normal way to allow enough space between tht transistor terminals, unless you have a *very* high tech PCB fabrication system, is to offset the middle (usually base) connection vertically. I would

Hi Sean, welcome! Yes those pads are close, and will be difficult to solder by hand. Have a look in the footprint list, and for quite a few footprints you will usually find two versions, one as you

Hello, ??? Welcome to the group. - Can you specify where the pads are too close together? If it's at the level of the footprint of the transistors, you have to choose another one or create one

If you used a predefined footprint for the transistors (from the KiCAD footprint libraries that are part of the full installation) you should have no problems. I too have noticed the closeness of the
