Not Updated for KiCad 5 #11
Comments
I'd appreciate an updated version. Some things are a bit confusing in KiCAD 5 |
I just followed the first half of this guide in KiCad 5 and it seemed pretty ok. Key shortcuts need some updates though, I will potentially PR those. |
Also, i think the component library instructions should be updated, because this menu does not exists in version 5:
|
"Associating Components and Footprints" : i think this part should also be updated because i was not able to do it on Kicad 5. |
If I had the time, I would write a new article from scratch for Kicad 5. I think there are some opportunities to include some new things like USB Type-C and perhaps some "best practices" like adding a PTC fuse, or design standards for differential pairs like the USB data lines. |
I also made a mistake when designing mine by using some of the components
from the external libraries which are IMO lower quality than the built in
one. End result was a crystal with the wrong footprint, mounted sideways.
So that needs looking at.

Just came across this guide and was really confused why I was lacking the menu options for I don't expect a complete update of the read.me but can you add a note at the top of the guide that outlines the version of KiCad you are using for the guide? This can help ease the confusion for new people reading this guide. |
KiCad 5 was released on 7-22-18, 2 years after the bulk of this tutorial was written. Because of this, this tutorial is harder to follow as it doesn't match up with the new version of KiCad.
