Hmm, #kicad oddness.
I upgraded to 10 series (from latest 9 stable), on the first start it said it can not use OpenGL and it's falling back to software rendering.
Curious, as FreeCAD, Blender etc. run fine on this machine.
I went to the settings and enabled OpenGL again and now it works. Odd. I've had it installed since 7 series on this specific machine, first time it misbehaves.
This is the 10.0.5 official flatpak on Xubuntu 26.04.

I'm using #KiCad to create schematics without the need to use them for e.g. PCB design. I now need a one-off symbol, but I don't want to add it to a library as, well, that'd be pointless. Is there a way to just create it in the schematic? I can see the editor copies the symbol definition into the schematics file anyway.

Does anyone use a SpaceMouse with #KiCAD? Is it good? Does it work on KiCAD under Linux?
It looks like it would be quite handy but it's also quite expensive and I don't know if my temptation is justified.

This wearable fan for #freecadfriday
- attaches to a hole in T-Shirts.
main specs:
- 55 mm radial fan from some laptop
- 7.4 Wh battery from some phone
- ESP32-S6 mini
- SDC40 CO2+Temp+RH sensor will join too
- SLM6305 battery charger
Grill will attach to the main part with magnets
electronics done with #kicad
firmware done in esphome and it's already doing something :D
control by phone still needs some figuring out
Not yet opensource/OSHW
To be honest a little complex to do with #freecad -

Why is changing versions of KiCad so painful? What am I doing wrong - I'm sure I mess something up every time and end up with borked libraries...
Now I find I've lost the silkscreens of some custom library footprints and even when going back to v9 they've gone.
Anyone got a good guide for either managing upgrades better or managing custom libraries?

Everyone get involved in this if you are at #OSHOP it will be great fun. #FreeCAD #KiCad ... love that the base of my #opensource #pcb clamp (as seen on @oshwassociation show and tell) is the example FreeCAD challenge item!

A random pitch to the wilds... I'm up here in N Wales with a load of fun stuff in my workspace and a load of skills. I'm pondering offering one to one tutorials on #opensource #maker tools. Primarily #FreeCAD and #KiCad but anything you may have seen me use or write about. Check out the free #SOURCE magazine issues for the kind of stuff I can offer. If a day or two learning interspersed with walks, or bike rides, or just coffee and chats appeals, do ping me. https://sourcemag.co.uk/

Yes they do! Being able to mock up a board in #Kicad and then export the 3D model is so nice for planning things out. I'm gonna look for an existing 18650 flashlight (or vape?) from which I can steal the battery holder housing.

🔧⚡ We had a fantastic turnout for PCB Design from Scratch at TOG last Friday.
22 people joined us for an evening exploring the PCB design process using KiCad, from creating the initial schematic through to preparing a board for manufacture.
A huge thank you to Roman Khvatov for giving the talk, sharing his experience and answering lots of questions throughout the evening.
Thanks to everyone who came along , it was great to see so much interest in electronics and PCB design!

Have you heard about the 'CAD Showdown' we did at #emfcamp ?
Where participants compete in #FreeCAD and #KiCad to show of their skills and - more important - have fun together?It will come back at #OSHOP on 23rd of September in Halle, Germany!
We might even have 'real' prices for the winners. In any case you can gain glory and fame.OSHOP is running for the 3rd time now. There will be nice workshops and awesome people.

I'm working on converting my books, "Reference Circuits" from Easy EDA to KiCAD. These are books made from circuit boards, with real circuits on each page. I want to have each volume of my books under one roof, so that replenishing my stock is easier in the future. I absolutely regret not going with KiCAD from the start. Importing from EasyEDA into KiCAD works pretty well, but the font, formatting, text size, and a whole bunch of other details get lost along the way. This stuff usually doesn't matter in a circuit board, but in a circuit board book it matters a lot. If you're just getting started in circuit board design, I highly recommend #Kicad over #EasyEDA
