Electrical rules check warnings


 

开云体育

I am getting warnings related to two pins of one symbol 'Symbol pin or wire end off connection grid', even if I set the grid to 0.1mm. Can I just ignore these warnings?

No, you can't ignore the warning as it means something isn't connected
as it should be.

It certainly used to be the case that all the supplied kicad symbols
were drawn using a US units grid. If that's still the case, then using
a metric grid will be problematic. Try switching to US units and using
a 0.05" grid, even if that requires gritted teeth.

Regards,

Robert.

It is telling you it is is not connected. This is a common problem if people design symbols with an inappropriate grid. Best is to use 1.27mm (0.05") for schematics and symbols.

You can select things, right click, and "align to grid" but that only works if the symbol and schematic grids are compatible (i.e. typically 0.05")

Thank you. The symbol was wrong and is now fixed. I am using an 0.05 inch grid.
