Hello everyone
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I think it is
important. I am doing a design with an LM339, the numbering of the pins
on the schematic symbol are wrong. Now I am trying to change them (and
admit I'm no expert in KiCAD) but they keep reverting back to what they
were. How can I use this program is pinouts are wrong and i can't
correct them ???
I have commented before that many PCB footprints do not follow the
standard and mismatch with the schematic symbol, Do I have to completely
redo my own libraries from scratch ? As i have said before i use KiCAD
on more than one computer and have issues with parts taking on new
pinouts based on the library of whatever installation i am using even if
i have manually corrected them for that project.
I have to say that at this point I am having serious concerns as to the
usability of KiCAD unless i have misunderstood how things work, if i
pick an LM339 from the library i assume it's pinout to be correct -
should i not ? how many other parts have "creative" pinouts ?
While it is great to see an active development of KiCAD I question
whether it will ever be a serious program if we cannot get the basics
settled on part pinouts. i will try and learn how to create my own
symbol libraries so that I can work independently of the KiCAD libraries
and not have to correct things over and over or not be able to correct
them at all !
Simon
