what's an L289? Generally: Run through the tutorial a few times first, (the part regarding creating the connector.)
First create a new library part for eeschema. Either do so from scratch or copy and modify something already existing. MAKE SURE you define the pin numbers carefuly, and make a note of them. Then in pcbNEW use the module editor to create a new module. You have to ensure that you get the size correct etc, s make use of the spacebar and watch the co-ord display. Make sure that you select the correct grid, and that you use the same names/numbers for the pins as you did for the library part. I normally work from the spec sheet of the part rather than measure, but at the end of the day it's just a matter of an outline and pad placing. Always save ypout libs and modules in your own library and module files, do not add to the existing as you can easily overwrite them during upgrades and such like. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Andy On Tue, 16 Jun 2009 05:15:58 -0000 "rivalslayer" <[email protected]> wrote: > KiCAD doesn't really have the L298 footprint and schematic entry.
