Your rock!! I'm a fan. Spent days looking at other KiCad not match your teachings.. thanks!!

[@pcbcupid]

Glad to help!

it's the honesty for me in minute 6:50😂😂😂. This tutorial series is really helpful. Thank you

Thank you for this nice beginner tutorial. How do you get the wires to connect nicely to the components? When I try it with my Kicad 7.0.1 the little "+" does not appear on the wire tool when I hover over a pin. And when I try to draw wires, it is very hard to get them connected correctly (it actually takes many minutes for just a few connections!) - also when moving components after the wires are connected, they detach from the wires, instead of dragging them with the component, like I'm used to from Eagle. Is that the way it's supposed to work?

[@pcbcupid]

Some of these solutions can fix your issues : 1. Try to keep the grid settings to 1.27mm or 50mil 2. hover the cursor over the pin (where there is a small circle indentation) and then use the shortcut 'W' to draw the wire 3. Using the move shortcut 'M' will cause the wires to detach from the component instead just click and select the symbol, then try dragging it. I hope these solutions will help.

[@c2h7]

@@pcbcupid Thank you! Meanwhile I had found the solution myself: I had set the grid to 1.27mm (50mil) and it was displayed that way at the bottom of the screen. But somehow it must have not been effective, I don't know how. When I found the tip "right click on the grid symbol in top left to change grid settings" I saw the "current setting" was something really small. So I hit ALT+1 and re-snapped everything to grid (CTRL+A, rightclick, align to grid) and FINALLY I can work decently :-) Another important tip I read somewhere is to NOT use "M" to move things around, but rather "G" (grab) which leaves connections attached. Now I also get the little "+" I was missing ;-)

[@pcbcupid]

Goodluck! Thanks for the sharing tip as well.

How to draw schematic with multiple pages in Kicad for Complicated boards ?

[@pcbcupid]

It's explained here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJPMqIupjbWMrsU

[@Max_Bio]

any example for EMG?

[@gaurisharma6795]

sir in my kicadtool the arow size of+ is so large how to minimize this

[@pcbcupid]

You can turn it off, by using the toggle button on the left toolbar. It's called "Switch display of full-window crosshiar."

I have a project in mind. Started a year ago but lost interest because I couldn't find a way to make it happen. I have a good idea on what I want the PCB to do but don't know how to make it happen. I have KiCad but don't know how to use it. Even if I did I still don't know where to start. Would anyone be able to help me out. Is there a place to go to learn about PCB's? All I want is a Round PCB that has a button on the side that turns on a LED. It needs a battery so that the LED will turn on. The PCB will be going into a watch. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I would like to learn it myself if possible but don't know where to go to learn. Thank you.

@@pcbcupid Thank you. I sent over my question. I hope it went through.

[@busra4386]

thanks for the video . how can i change power supply as "vac" value. I'm trying to do dc power supply 220 V, 50 Hz but i cant change the value. whats the solution of this problem

[@pcbcupid]

Which power supply symbol are you using? You can change the value of the symbol by going to the properties. (right click on the symbol and then click properties or select the symbol and use the shortcut "E")

[@busra4386]

@@pcbcupid I added the source seen as AC_voltage source used in multisim program as “vac” in kicad. But in kicad, I can't enter a value like in my multisim. I have to use this design kzbin.info/www/bejne/epK8ZKWrfc-hf80

[@pcbcupid]

@@busra4386 If the symbol is part of power symbols there value might not be editable for example : +5v, +3.3v, VCC, VAC , AC etc Instead you can use a 2-pin terminal to indicate the AC supply and add AC power label to the net. The circuit used in the video we follow the similar method. Where we use "Cell" to indicate the DC supply and then attach a +3.3v power label.

[@busra4386]

Well, can i use screw_terminal_ 01x02?

[@pcbcupid]

@@busra4386 Yes that would be perfect.

[@lars-gunnartengerstrom8276]

Every time someone demonstrates a function in KiCad.. So it takes ages to arrive at What is essential. WHY.....?????

[@pcbcupid]

Kicad is very powerful when you understand its inner workings. Specially some functions can do multiple operations, so it's essential to know all the workings. Maybe that's why it feels too long ?

[@silnyye4403]

1:06 so where is the video? Just asking thank you.

[@pcbcupid]

The circuit was done using TinkerCAD, once the KiCad 7 series is completed we'll probably make that video.

[@silnyye4403]

@@pcbcupid thank you for the reply. Cheers!

Thank you!

[@sujitpal3672]

Where is BC547?

[@pcbcupid]

To keep the circuit simple, we are trying not to drive any part of the circuit using a transistor.
