help! PCBs arrived from fabrication but connectors are screwed up!
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

Re: [ANN] PCB Multiplyer (early test version)
Thank you Markus for this interesting utility. When needed, it will save a lot of time and clicks :) I run it as a test on my Windows 7 Home Basic. Its learning curve is 1 or 2 seconds at most :)

Re: [ANN] PCB Multiplyer (early test version)
Perhaps this highlights that some form of inbuilt scripting / macro functionality within pcbnew might be something to be looked into. Andy "mgebha" <markus@...> wrote:

Re: [ANN] PCB Multiplyer (early test version)
Good point! If someone wants to port this to another platform, I would gladly make the relevant parts of the code available. In the first place it was only a proof of concept. I did not expect it to

Re: [ANN] PCB Multiplyer (early test version)
I have implemented some more features and brushed up the existing application: http://www.jave.de/kicad/pcbmultiplyer_1.1.zip In the first version, you were only able to select a target board size and

Re: Freeerouter Lockup Problem.
I found a workaround to the freerouter being "write-protected" problem. If I download the freeroute.jnlp file and launch it locally (as opposed to using webstart) then it works fine and allows me to

Freeerouter Lockup Problem.
Hi Guys a little off topic but I'm hoping someone may have encountered this and has a solution handy, I'm getting nowhere... I have a problem with KiCAD/freerouter. I was routing a large 6 layer PCB

Re: [ANN] PCB Multiplyer (early test version)
This is a nice contribution. However, I would have tried to code using the same language/libs that Kicad is using in case that the developers would have liked to push this into kicad. Currently I'm

[ANN] PCB Multiplyer (early test version)
Hi, often when I finish a design with KiCad, I want to print more than one of them on a single board. Of course one can do that by copying and moving the whole content in PCBnew. This has some

Re: SPICE parameter sequence issue
Hello Charles, There is no flaw in LTspice - all SPICE3-compatible programs treat only the netlist order as important; the pin names are irrelevant to a SPICE parser. The problem is not a new one, and

No afaik,but if you segment the track, then you can change the individual segment widths. - Anders Gustafsson Engineer, CNE6, ASE Pedago, The Aaland Islands (N60 E20) www.pedago.fi phone +358 18 12060

SPICE parameter sequence issue
I am having trouble with simulating a 5V regulator using LTSPICE. The problem is LTSPICE and KICAD SPICE netlister don't always agree how the sub-circuit calling parameters should be sequentially

Re: Save as module
Hello, You sent me this mail direct, not on the Kicad group. No problem. Probably you do not have declared the path for your own library. In PCBnew, go to Preference, Library, and add your library
