Re: KiCAd post, back on the list in case someone else might be able to help
Do they have a datasheet with the footprint detail? It's easy to make
your own footprint in KiCad.

Mouser has links to their Ecad models, which include the kicad
versions. This may save you a bit of work. (the footprint looks very
simple anyway)
My point precisely. They do not have an ecad print for it, so I submitted
a request for a 4 pin version. So we wait.
Thank you Andy.

john@... Thanks for the welcome John, and yes the name does have an old echo

inhabit
the eagle list and used it a few times, but gave up on it and wrote
my
own gcode for the simple circuits I was using for encoders and such
on my cnc machines.
Thats not the only list of course as my interests are best described
as varied.
Now I have a gage sensor to mount, but can't find its footprint in
the
debian 11 repo's old kit. It doesn't seem to have a footprint
directory, or perhaps KICAD has a different name for such? IDK.
Its a Honeywell TBPLLLN015PCUCV. Surface mount, 7 mm square 6 contact
pattern.
So I'd imagine I have to build it from the tarball, but can't find
the
right round tuit. At my age, 87, its pretty easy to misslay it, and
then can't remember where it is.
I've about a 10mm sq. space to glue the pcb with the footprint cut
into it. And a whole bunch of 603 series resistors and capcitors to
mount on an eval board for an ADA4099-1 high voltage op-amp.
The final target is regulating the air pressure to a mister on a
heavily modified 6040 mill by pwm-ing the power to a bank of 5,
small diapram compressors I can't even hear running over the other
cooling fans in the mills electronics. Feed that from the 2hp shop
compressor and what little hearing I have left would soon go away.
Not to mention burning up that conpressor, it wasn't built to long
tolerate a 50% duty cycle. Harbor Freight special. Nuff said. :o(>

I've not got K5 on the system as I've just installed Kicad 6 from the
debian bullseye backports
You may need to reload the package database and see if the later
version shows up.
There are some TSOT packages in the footprints in K6 but not the one
you mention.
TSOP plenty of versions
I suspect that the package you want is the TSOT-23-6 which is in the
library. However do recheck the datasheet. I did check for that one but came up empty. So I threw money at it and bought 2 eval boards, all ready to go. Thanks Andy

Howdy and welcome!
In addition to the native KiCad libraries, there are several sites that offer symbols and footprints - I think they may partner with the manufacturers to make it easier to use their chips.
I'ave had good luck with and but there are probably others too. I think digikey and sparkfun have some too.

Up to and including Kicad 5, EESchema had a menu option "Delete
Connection", which allowed one to select a wire and delete it and all
the connected wires not connected via a junction. This seems to have
disappeared in Kicad 6, with the only alternative being to select the
wire, press Alt-4, and then Del (or Delete from the menu). This
creates additional work for something I do frequently (indeed more
frequently than just deleting a single wire). Additionally, Alt-4
selects wires beyond a junction, which is often not what I want.
Am I missing something, or do I need to raise the reinstatement of
"Delete Connection" as a feature request?

Robert.

I think this is due to the interactive router settings.
Main menu bar:
route > interactive router options (bottom of the list)
set mode = Highlight collisions
set options: Free angle mode (no shove/walkaround)
That should allow you to place the track at any angle.
