Assigning Footprints
Introduction
Prior to transferring a schematic to a PCB design, it is necessary to assign footprints to each symbol in your schematic
Electrical Rules Check (ERC)
Introduction
In the last tutorial you created a schematic. But is it any good? The electrical rules check, or ERC, is a useful way to debug your circuit. This example tutorial takes you through the process of finding and eliminating circuit design errors.
Importing Netlist into KiCad PCB
Introduction
We are now ready to transfer over from Schematic Editor to PCB Editor. In order to get to this step, we had to make sure a couple things were taken care of:
Using the KiCad Footprint Editor
How to manually create a footprint using the KiCad footprint editor
Using the KiCad Footprint Wizard
How to create a footprint using the footprint wizart for standard footprints and shapes
