Thanks Andy, Thank you very much for your in-depth instructions there. I'll try to follow them this week when i get a chance. I'm sorry for my frustration. It's just that I HAVE used this program

Yes, that's a comment a lot of beginners make. It is intuitive, but like many complex tools it does take getting used to. You are also at a slight disadvantage as a windows user. Kicad started life as

In earlier releases of Kicad, it was a bit of a pain to work with other people on the same project, and also archive projects. Missing libs and so on were quite common. All the data for the components

Hi I think I play in the 2 leagues. I reduce the pin naming to the function in use and the name the net acording to were its connected to. For example, a PIC pin described in the datasheet as

YMMV I find naming the pins on the device very useful. Each project is unique, and I have no problems in creating a specific component for each project. Like you I also name wires. It's nice to have

this will be a pita very soon as you end up using the same item over and over again in an new project with different functions. I always label my wires with their functions so i end op having named

Weird, the footprint browser and the place dialogue should be looking in exactly the same locations. The sequence should go something like: Open pcbnew select add footprints (right hand toolbar 4th

The correct way is often the way that works for you. Devices like PLCCs are not really the same as something like a LS7400 where all the pins have a specific fixed functions. With PLCC's and uP's it

Update. Last for tonight. I managed to open BUSPCI and start editing it, but then when it came to saving it, i couldn't!? I couldn't set the active library because it doesn't give me the option to

I also found a few FFC types under "Connectors_Molex". I wonder if they're closer to what i'm after? Or are they the actual connectors which the ribbon push into? Actually i think it is. Forget that.

Okay, So. I finally got to a position of peace and quiet so that i could look at Kicad again tonight. First off, to remind you of my two issues, and my findings for each there after. 1. My old project

Hi, I am learning how to create schematic symbols using the Component Library Editor. The proces for creation of schematic symbols is easy to use. But I need some advice on the format of the creation

yes it's a lot easier with the program in front of you :-) BUSPCI is a footprint in the connect library which should be one to the standard libs. there re a couple of ways to open the footprint

for your information, on page 26 of Electronics for You, Sept. 2018 there is a brief information concerning the general rules. regards

Ok thanks Andy. I'll not admit i know all of which you speak right now, but hopefully with some time spent at the program....? Is the "BUSPCI footprint" held within Kicad already then? Where do i find

The third image shows the basic requirements. You create a board outline using the dimensions of the cable, treat it exactly as you would for a normal PCB outline. For the edge connectors, load up the

Hi Andy, et al. and a continued thanks. I'll need to read your instructions again as I sit at my laptop with Kicad open. I'm not even sure of the state of that particular component now, whether it's

Hi Paradox, When I read your email it brought back very familiar feelings; been there, done that. KiCad is an excellent program but it's not intuitive. Cheers, Colin _____ Sent: 11 September 2018

It took me long enough to reply didn't it. Thank you,? that is what I was looking for. My projects are much smaller than business cards, so I can limit the eeschema to two ground pads allowing pcbnew

Ok there are a couple of issues here. You are talking about a ribbon cable, however what the replies are all about are flexible PCB's which is what the image you posed is. Before you go too far along
