I think, using 2 layer layout with via's is the best way for my single layer layout PCB. Thank you all for your help. :-) LG Boris

Thanks for the information Carl. Unfortunately, my "one off" boards are usually non-commercial prototypes, either for my own use as a hobbyist or for publication in hobby electronics magazines. I have to pay for them myself and cannot sell them on so spending anything more than the cost of phot

In pcbnew, click the add modules button and add the module 1PIN. Then right click on the pad and select pad/edit pad. Here you can assign the pad to a net and adjust the size as needed. --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, "ahuitzot" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.c

Brian, I have found a PCB house that specializes in one of a kind PCB, its an all notouch/online process. The price for a single two sided board ( I have made boards up to 8.5 X 4 inches) is under $100 USA. Three boards are still under $100. You register online and then you can submit your gerbe

It may be a little silly at first, but put the jumpers into your schematic (which documents them too), then define the jumper footprint as two thru holes. I'm not sure but you might be able to use the same module for all the jumpers of different lenght (if you can edit the pad spacings). ---

I face the same problem. I often make "one off" PCBs which would be uneconomical to sent to a fab house. Adding Zero ohm resistors is an option but as mentioned, you have to add them to the schematic and sometimes remove them as well while working on a PCB layout. There is also the problem of n
