KiCad Tutorial - How to neaten up your schematic!

[@dj1encore]

Thanks for the Tutorials. We are looking at replicating when duplicate sheets are used.

Good tutorial! Can you please consider a tutorial doing simulation with Kicad. My current workflow is ltspice for design/simulation and then kicad for schematic and pcb. It would be great to be able to drop ltspice and do everything in kicad. Keep up the good work

Hi Omar, thanks for your comment. It is on my list of tutorials to do🙂. Will try my best to do it in the next week or 2.👍

Nice video, well done, thanks for sharing it with us :)

Thanks for the brief tutorial. You mentioned not crossing wires, but didn't suggest what to do instead. I think most people probably already use Power and Ground symbols correctly. I'm new to KiCad (been using it for less than a week) and have several ICs with lines connected between them and they cross. Should I add a short wire to each pin with just a text label? They are address lines or data lines and are already labeled A0-A15 and D0-D7 and it would probably look a bit odd to have short wires that duplicate the labels already on the chip. Also, if the lines aren't connected from IC to IC, that would also prevent KiCad from being able to detect errors like Output-to-Output, right?

Can you do a 100 watt led mcpcb & led driver design aswell

After you have seen my unreadable schematic then made this tutorial:)lol

[@PlumPot]

Haha nah man, been getting alot. Sometimes you don't think of all these things. I was to these things by my previous manager. You should have seen my first schematic I made🤣🤣

Hi, thanks for the video. Just a short question. How did you draw the rectangular outlines around the circuits? Thanks again.

[@PlumPot]

Hi, sorry for the late reply, on the right habd side you should have a square for dotted lines, which version are you using V5 or V6?

[@vevasam]

@@PlumPot Hi, thanks a lot for your reply. I'm using V5. I'll check it out and update you. Thanks again.

Great creation with awful video quality when you need it the most ....

[@roykrikke7775]

A good hint would be to show viwers also the PWR_FLAG opportunities. PS I learn a lot from your videos! THANKS Come from EAGLE and have decided to try something different (no reason, just because I can).

Hi Roy, yea that is a good point forgot about that one!
