KiCad - From Design to Manufacture - Part 1

[@TheOleHermit]

Once again our pal, Dave, has exactly the tutorial series I need. Thanks to Dave's great Teensy Synth tutorial, I'm just finishing up the final tweaks of the Teensy Laser Synth, which is blowing away all of my expectations. Now, I need to design a PCB to replace the 3 audio shields and add X/Y differential amps, w.offset & 2 x gain. So, I'm back for phase 2. Then, it's on to a new custom laser MIDI control desk, which Dave has already covered and the parts are waiting for assembly. How-to DIY video is in production. Thanks Dave for enabling the realization of 35 years worth of dreams and ideas during my hiatus from doing laser shows. Having a great time just grooving along with some psy-trance rhythms in the privacy of my living room.😜😎

That's great. My only problem is that my downloaded ki cad did not have any component schematics on it. I had to try find downloads, which I have an they are not anywhere near comprehensive. I tried removing Ki Cad and re-installing, but it just remembered all I have. Anyway I can get the KiCad library of components?

Hi Dave, i have a question. For my very first project i will make a PCB like the 8 Fold simulator module from siemens 6ES7274-1XF30-0XA0. What is the normal way to make the 11 connection pins, and how you name it in the schematic? Thanks in advance
