Hello,
New in using Kicad, I try to find a way to assign individual pins
drawed in eeschema (ex: input, output, +15V etc...) to a connector
like he10-16 in cvPCB. I don't want to have to make a conn_16 appear
on eeschema but only individual pins.
Sure there is a way to have a block diagram in eeschema fully
independant from hardware...

You can make a component with 16 parts (like with op-amps) and manipulate
the pins.

Then in the end you just assign the footprint you want.

Maybe it can work if you make a component with say, 100 parts and assign
a footprint/module with less pins.

I guess the upcoming kicad with scripting and s-expressions will make it
easy.

There are a couple of ways to think about this one.


The brute force method is to use single pin connectors. Then on pcbnew
you will have to carefully place them. It can be done but it's a lot of
hard work.


A better way is to use a n-pin connector in eeschema, but rather than
connect the circuit directly to it via wires use labels. Label the pins
as needed, then where you would normally use a pin on the circuit, use a
label then the connection will be automatically made.

The correct module can then be used in pcbnew and everything is a lot
easier.

Hi,

you will find here your HE10-16.lib component for eeschema :


For pcbnew, just use a standard HE10-16 footprint (right angle,
or straight, as you need).

Don't attempt to built components with more than 26 units !
This feature is not yet supported by Kicad (see link above).

regards,
Charles.
