Hi, I'm new to KiCad (in fact I have no previous experience creating footprints or schematics of circuits...). I'm running an old version of KiCad (2007), because it's the only one available in the stable repositories of Debian (even in the unstable repos, the newest version is 2008). I'm trying to learn how to backport the newest version, but to do it right in Debian takes a lot of work...
In the schematics I have placed powers for an Op amp and a bias voltage for a photodiode. First, when generating the netlist, they don't show up (I don't know if this is how it's supposed to be). Therefore when reading the netlist with pcbnew I get no "power modules"?... The people in my lab generally use Eagle Light, and they told me that eagle usually places a hole corresponding to the power. I know I can do this manually, but it's kind of a pain. Do you guys know how to do this? Is it included in a newer version or something?
