Re: Jumpers and zero-ohm resistors
Even in an antique kicad version, there are jumpers in the schematic
symbol menu. I haven't checked the selection of footprint spacings
available, but an edit there would soon provide the required

Hello John.
Exactly. A schematic is used to document and describe your circuit, an

Re: Jumpers and zero-ohm resistors
Given what you are trying to achieve, John, you could create a custom
schematic symbol that looks like a wire segment. You could even hide
all the text fields. Basically it would just be two

Re: Jumpers and zero-ohm resistors
Thanks, Tony. My need is very simple, to allow one track on a layer to cross another. I can put zero ohm resistors on the schematic, but (inevitably, I suppose) that restricts the routing of the

Re: Jumpers and zero-ohm resistors
If you want to use headers and links, I have schematic symbols for those. Perhaps KiCad even has them in one of its extensive library, I don't know.
Alternatively, use zero Ohm resistors, and add a

Re: Jumpers and zero-ohm resistors
Thanks, Jean-Paul, but I want to jump over a track on a 2-layer through-hole board. A zero-ohm resistor works.

Re: Jumpers and zero-ohm resistors
Hello,
??? Instead of jumper, I offen use so called in French "coffee bean". Just put a drop of solder to make the connection.

Re: Jumpers and zero-ohm resistors
Thanks, Robert. I suppose they have to be placed in the schematic exactly where they are needed in the layout, which can make the schematic look very odd.

Re: Jumpers and zero-ohm resistors
They are normally in the schematic as zero ohm resistors. In the
layout they can be whatever you like, eg pukkka zero ohm resistors
(wire-ended or surface mount), hand-cut wire links, blobs of

Jumpers and zero-ohm resistors
How are jumpers? included in a board design? Do they appear in the schematic or only in the PCB layout? Are they to be treated as zero-ohm resistors, perhaps?

Re: How to print a BOM? [Solved]
To be fair, at age 70, anything post millennial seems pretty recent, and
even hurrying occurs at a measured pace, not helped by having to stop

That is not pretty recent, that is bordering on ancient.

Re: OT: PCB suppliers
That means they panelized it. This is very common and some assemblers will
not assemble a board without it. I am guessing your board was bigger than 2
inches?
