Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Symbols and Pin mapping in v6 - Proposal

Hello, Tim! I agree that in the near future, the demand for (I'd call it) "Table Based Design Entry" will rise tremendously, when we reach pincounts in the high hundreds and thousands. It is a lot of work to draw and maintain complex MCUs/SoCs/FPGAs in some schematic when pins can have 8

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Board statistics dialog

Hi! I think it could be good to see both: - The actual PCB area of the outline (well, without drills). - The max-width * max-height which is usually what you have to pay for when you get it manufactured. The second one could be also an interesting task to calculate if you have an odd shaped

Hello, Tom! I don't know if it's of any help to you. On Arch Linux, I am manually building a locally installed test version of kicad.git using the attached script. Installed packages containing "wx" are currently: $ pacman -Q -s wx local/python-wxpython 4.0.7.2-1 Cross-platform GUI toolkit

[Kicad-developers] Placing real components out of a database instead of: "Automatic assignment of footprint with a database"

Hello! This is related to the previous thread: "Automatic assignment of footprint with a database" I would generally prefer assemble real components on a real PCB right from the beginning instead of first placing generic components and then assign footprints + manufacturers + types + x

Re: [Kicad-developers] Code execution context

Hello, Markus! I can offer to do some testing / debugging on Arch Linux. (I'm currently on boost 1.75.0, but I hope it is not needed as dependency.) I cannot help with proprietary / closed source drivers. My SpaceNav was sleeping in my drawer for ages, so the rubber parts became sticky as
