[kicad-users] NEWBIE question
I'm following the tutorial and when instructed to create a new projest the .sch file never gets created. Help!

Re: [kicad-users] NEWBIE question
Explaining more... the project is the .pro file, then you create the schematic, it's the .sch file, when you save it you get the file :) Alain kajdas escreveu: Did you save the project/schematic?

Please read the Kicad FAQ in the group files section before posting your question. Please post your bug reports here. They will be picked up by the creator of Kicad. Please visit http://www.kicadlib.org for details of how to contribute your symbols/modules to the kicad library.

No, it's a case of US and rest-of-the-world. As an American, I don't give a rat's ass what some standards committee says (especially if they're in another country), I prefer the zigzag resistors and other US-preferred symbols, and apparently most other Americans do too, as these symbols are still predominately used here. Personally, I created my own symbols and saved them in my own personal library. It doesn't take long to draw a zigzag resistor symbol in Kicad. Besides, standards committees are basically useless. Just look at how useless the ISO was when MS came in and paid off a bunch of European countries to approve their broken OOXML standard. Standards committees and their recommendations should be taken with a large grain of salt.

But times and styles have changed, the symbology normaly used in KiCAD and elsewhere roughly comforms to the IEC standards.
[kicad-users] Re: Libraries
Thanks Dan. Would you care to share that library? I mainly dislike the resistors and caps (no curved plate).

Maybe you can find what you want here : http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/message/4373 Look at the diy_rlc.lib in the libraries zip file. You can see what some of the the symbols look like there : http://vkoeppel.free.fr/files/diy/libs.svg --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, Doug dsc3...@... wrote: Thanks Dan.

I have got frustratingly close, it is clear to me that it should be possible to reduce this to a simple operation using BRL-CAD, but I have no idea what I am doing in that package. I spent a few more hours trying out random combinations but it became clear to me that I would have to sit down and learn 3D modelling with BRL-CAD properly, and I just do not have time for this at the moment, sorry.

New to Kicad but had used Orcad for many years. Is there a more US like device library that uses resistor, ground, etc. symbols? Yhe square box resistors just don't look right! Yes they do ;) But if there are, you find them here: http://www.kicadlib.org/ - Anders Gustafsson Engineer, CNE6, ASE Pedago, The Aaland Islands (N60 E20) www.pedago.fi phone +358 18 12060 mobile +358 40506 7099 fax +358 18 14060
