    #PCB #KICAD

  2. #CERN releases its component library for #kicad as open source, and the very first comment on The Register is not praise but “can you convert them for use in Eagle because Kicad is clunky?” Fucking hell, take a breath, commentard. 🤦‍♂️

  3. 5月9日にオープンソースのプリント基板CADソフト #KiCad ( kicad.org/ ) は、新版 KiCad 10.0.2 バグ修正リリースを発表。重要なバグ修正と軽微な改良を含む安定版。発表とChangelogは kicad.org/blog/2026/05/KiCad-1 に。ダウンロードは kicad.org/download/ から。

  4. It turned out that KiCad can easily recognise my Eagle files, thus saving me from tearing my hair out.

  5. New fun with #Kicad 10 on #Ubuntu 26, it seems to randomly cause Ubuntu to just log me out and take me back to the login screen. No warning, no message on screen, just blam, back to login...

  6. Today #CERN released its #KiCad component library to the public.
    They are licensed CERN-OHL-P-2.0
    Thank you OSPO ❤️ for getting this done.

    Originally the library is made in Altium and will also be maintained in Altium. The repo only contains files that have been automatically converted.

    It is a database library which contains only fully specified parts. There are lots of weird connectors. Have fun exploring.

  7. 4月28日にオープンソースのプリント基板CADソフト #KiCad ( kicad.org/ ) は、新版 KiCad 9.0.9 バグ修正リリースを発表。重要なバグ修正と軽微な改良を含む安定版。すでに、3月20日に 10.0 にメジャーアップデートしているため、9.0系の修正版リリースは今回で最後になる予定。発表とChangelogは kicad.org/blog/2026/04/KiCad-9 に。ダウンロードは kicad.org/download/ から。

  8. Heute ist das erste Batch des neuen Board angekommen. Inbetriebnahme läuft noch, aber bis jetzt keine Fehler gefunden. Ich bin lediglich auf der Suche nach diesen M2er "Muttern" die von unten angelötet werden.

  9. I entered a #kicad bug report late last night for the first time. I woke up early and the issue had been confirmed on a second platform by one person, and fixed by another. The commit had already been pushed for the next nightly build.

    I can't imagine a response like that from a paid vendor: less than a five hour response time.

  10. With the model for Doctor Who's mini playfield target bracket 3D printable model out, here follows the PCBs. As people recommended in my original question about it, the repository has both, raw KiCAD files and a ready to be used ZIP for PCB fabbers.

    There's probably some n00bism there but I'll get it sorted out and add assembly instructions as well later on.

    Here's the link:

  11. This is amazing, I am so happy it works. It was my first 4-layer PCB I designed from scratch on #KiCad! #GEM #S2 #turbokit #replica

  12. Hmmm, lots and lots of issues #KiCAD 10.
    It's slow, I mean, PAINFULLY slow and I keep getting "application has stopped responding". Zooming in/out is pretty much impossible as a result.

    And I've just tried to install plugins and it can't even connect to it's own plug in repository!

    Have to admit, I'm likely to go back to V9.

    I'm using Ubuntu.

  13. I want a custom soldered jumper footprint in KiCAD, but can't see how to create two linked pins (like the bridged solder joints) without getting DRC "nets touching" failures...

    ... what am I missing?

  14. Next up in leveling up my #kicad skills: learning to make a BOM and actually order something populated from JCL or PCBWay.

  15. If you are interested to do some thermal simulation with your #KiCAD pcb's, feel free to try this out yourself. (It's FOSS)

  18. huh, so here is a weird thing in #kicad: when using the ISSUE_DATE text variable in expressions it always evaluates to 1992?

  19. Let's say I want to share something I've done with #kicad, what's the most useful way if we're talking about a piece for hobbyists that aren't necessarily familiar with KiCAD but want to make their own copies of the thing in PCB fabbers?

    Just zip up the gerbers or something else?
