Seems exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks a lot,

Re: [Newbie] No synchronization of layout with flat hierarchy

 

You need to use the 'Replicate Layout' plugin to duplicate a layout for identical hierarchical?sheets. You can layout just one copy, place the pivots for each other duplicate sheets then just use the plugin to duplicate?them.
You can get the plugin through the PCM, but anyway

There is no feature to keep them synchronised, honestly that isn't really that useful, it sounds like a fancy 'software inspired' feature but when you are designing production PCBs where every trace matters, having things change without you explicitly asking them to would be terrible. You can just rerun the plugin when you have updated the layout.?

I've never had to use the scripting console. What have you tried to update the PCB after changing the schematic? Are you saying Tools > Update PCB from Schematic (F8) doesn't work?

If you were expecting it to behave like Eagle, it doesn't.

Hi all,

I¡¯m doing my 1st KiCad project.

I created a simple parent sheet and a schematic of a circuit which should be repeated 10 times on the board.
Everything worked fine but it seems that I have to do the layout 10 times manually, which makes the hierarchical design useless.
Is there (in 6.0.5) any possibility to derive the other 9 layouts from the 1st one or even better to keep them synchronized?

I found this FAQ

where I read, this feature will be in 7.0 and the plugin, which did this job, does no longer work.

What is current best practice?

Re: KiCAd post, back on the list in case someone else might be able to help

 

Hi Gene,

I suspect we knew each other back on the linux kernel mailing list
from 12+ years ago, and from the RadeonHD and linux-kernel mailing
lists. We both have distinctive names! I've never used Eagle myself,
just KiCad and found it to make designing and fabbing my own (simple)
boards quite nice. It's getting all the rest of the electronics and
interfacing with the outside world that is the tough part!

Good luck with your projects!

The base is 7mm square, with 6 "pins" but it is analog out so only uses 3
of the 4 corner pins. I have a 6040 mill, with a 24k rev spindle and
engraving bits, and can write gcode, so for a one off, thats likely what
I'll do. The biggest problem is the lack of flat on the 6040's extruded
bed. So a pcb holding pallate must first be made to establish a truely
flat place to hold the pcb. The artwork I do have from honeywell is
pretty, but contains no measurement data other than the footprint is 7mm
square. Even pin1 isn't obviously Id'd.

The other problem is parts availability for 603 family resistors and
capacitors. The usual suspects are out of stock re the capacitor
assortments.

So we'll muddle along with temporary compressor speed controls. I can do
them in the linuxcnc gui with pyvcp tools.

How big a pix (in kilobytes, base-64'd) can I post, my camera is quite hi
rez and its difficult to shrink what I get down to a submissable size
without jpeg artifacts being pretty obvious.

Thanks all.

I've not got K5 on the system as I've just installed Kicad 6 from the
debian bullseye backports

You may need to reload the package database and see if the later
version shows up.

There are some TSOT packages in the footprints in K6 but not the one
you mention.

TSOP plenty of versions

I suspect that the package you want is the TSOT-23-6 which is in the
library. However do recheck the datasheet.
I did check for that one but came up empty. So I threw money at it and
bought 2 eval boards, all ready to go.

Thanks Andy

Re: new subscriber

 

Howdy and welcome!

In addition to the native KiCad libraries, there are several sites that offer symbols and footprints - I think they may partner with the manufacturers to make it easier to use their chips.

I'ave had good luck with and but there are probably others too. I think digikey and sparkfun have some too.

I hear great things about kicad, and eagle has gone to the darkside and
unreal licenses, so its out. I need to design a board to use this, so I
downloaded/installed kicad-5.1.9 from debian-backports. And the first
thing I look for is a tsot-6 footprint. No such thing. There may be one
but I've no clue where apt installed it.

So thats my first question: Does it have a tsot-6 footprint?
If so, where do I find it?

Thanks for any help. Take care and stay well everybody.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

The only way to do that will be to have a slot that gets plated before
the PCB outline is milled to drop the PCB out of the frame.
