G'day John,
I myself am fairly new to kicad as well, but have just finished a project as a means to better learn kicad. With my experiences I found that ERC won't fully run until it sees all components are annotated. Have you run the annotation tool to see if it picks up the unannoted component? Stephen... From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of NeonJohn Sent: Tuesday, 27 April 2010 12:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [kicad-users] Schematic ERC I'm using the latest official release under Ubuntu (Build: (20100406 SVN-R2509)-final) After abandoning KiCAD a couple of releases ago as not ready for prime time, I'm back to try again. I've entered a fairly complex design involving an FPGA, a processor and some analog stuff. Being fairly new to this and considering the complexity, I can't believe that I made no mistakes. that's what the ERC checker is saying. When I bring it up and click "Test ERC", I get the following message: item not annotated: 0.1uF? Annotation required! But nothing in the marker window. I've checked every single bypass capacitor both manually and by searching for the value. They're all annotated. So. Is ERC broken in this release or was I really that good? :-) And what's with the annotation message?
