Re: Searching for an existing footprint
Thank you, Reinier. You make it sound simple, but for someone who has never done it successfully, it is not simple.? I have tried and failed too often. There are many steps and questions: 1. How to

Re: Searching for an existing footprint
Another name for a preset resistor is a trimmer potentiometer, usually shortened to trimpot. It's one of those potentiometers you use a screwdriver to set, and then you leave it alone unless further

Re: Searching for an existing footprint
Hi John, just learn how to make your own footprints. It is dead simple. Just take any simple footprint, rename it and save it to your own library. Then move the pads, resize the pads and change the

Re: Searching for an existing footprint
Thanks, Brian. When I look at the Properties of the part, I see it's called 'Trim-potentiometer', which is also a good name. The pin count filter works for me, under 8.0.4.

Re: Searching for an existing footprint
Hi John, Ah yes, 'potentiometers' I am far more familiar with. In Schematic Editor, I ran into the Assign Footprint tool, which has the ‘pin count’ filter, but I sure couldn’t get it to work.

Re: Searching for an existing footprint
Thanks, Brian. KiCad calls preset resistors 'potentiometers', which is perhaps better, but 2 terminal parts do exist which are not pots. I think 'preset pot'? is the best description. Your tip to

Re: Searching for an existing footprint
Hi John, I’m not sure what a preset resistor is, but I’m willing to learn. When I want to see what is all available, I open the footprint editor and hit View/Footprint Library

Re: Searching for an existing footprint
Thanks, Andy, but to find 'a device in the same package' seems to me to be a step further away from searching through footprints for the one I hope is there. The part is a preset resistor, not a

Re: Searching for an existing footprint
You typically search for the device, then you may see several footprints with various names with e,b,c, b,c,e, 1,2,3, etc against then indicating the different pinouts. However if you don't care

Searching for an existing footprint
What is the best way to search the hundreds of existing footprints for a particular arrangement of pins? Just a 3-pin symbol, nothing complicated. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only Best Wishes John

Re: KiCad Version 2 downloading file
'EESchema Schematic File Version 2' is just be the version of EESchema which could be separate from the KiCad version (i.e. possibly also used in v4).? I opened a .sch file made with KiCad v5 and it

Have you tried to load them using the current version? I would try that first, and I think you will find it will do the appropriate conversions for you. [email protected]> wrote:
