FozzTexx<p>That’s what I see by beeping it out without removing the boards. I should have drawn the 2x8 connector in the middle.

Olbe<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://berlin.social/@wikinaut" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>wikinaut</span></a></span> nee, aber ich mag keine kaputten Sachen rumliegen haben 😅 Ne Platine mit <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a> erstellen geht ja fix. Für die Buttons und FPC Connectors gibt's dort ja sogar Generatoren. Da hat das keine Stunde gedauert 👍</p>
K. Olbe<p>Vater hat mir seine alte ALDI Wildkamera gegeben, die ich fit machen sollte. Da waren die Batterien ausgelaufen. Leider ist das Zeug auf die Platine gekommen. SD-Karte wurde immer schreibgeschützt erkannt, weil der Schalter, der das detektiert, korrodiert war. Hab das Ding einfach fest gelötet, sodass alle Karten schreibbar sind.<br>Nächstes Problem: Die Buttons funktionieren nicht mehr bzw. höchstens mal einer. Problem: Die Leiterbahnen auf der Flex-PCB waren teilweise zerfressen. Ich hatte leider keinen Leitlackstift da, also wollte ich es erst mal mit dem Lötkolb...verdammt, das Trägermaterial hält keine Hitze aus 😅 <br>Also <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/KiCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KiCAD</span></a> angeworfen und eine eigene Flex-PCB erstellt und bei <a href="https://dresden.network/tags/jlcpcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jlcpcb</span></a> (zusammen mit bisschen anderen Kram aus meiner Pipeline) produzieren lassen. Passt und funktioniert wirklich ausgezeichnet 🤩</p>

Rommudoh<p>One of the final modules for my <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/StackSynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StackSynth</span></a> project: the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/noise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>noise</span></a> generator.

JimmyChezPants 🇨🇦<p>Hey I'm gonna make a late New Years resolution</p><p>This year, I'm gonna figure out either <a href="https://growers.social/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a> and/or whatever else I need to sort out, so I can at the very least order PCBs from open hardware designs. Maybe design some simple stuff myself, I have a few devices I need to update around here that would be just fine if I could do them cheaper.</p><p>There are LOT of musical gadgets out there that from what I can tell I can get from a PCB place for ridiculously low prices, compared to a similar gadget in the shops, but I haven't done the several days/weeks/months of aggravation learning new software and concepts. It is painful.</p>
cliffle<p>So far I'm pleasantly surprised with the Kicad 9 updates. My system quietly updated in the background so I'm finding them by accident.</p><p>I'll collect my favorites into a thread here as I discover them. 1/</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a></p>

Chris Petrilli<p>Not sure how i fixed it, and that's really annoying. But set them up so they are the way I like. Now if I could remember who I stole the idea from. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a></p>
Chris Petrilli<p>OK, for some reason it seems impossible to move the value field and reformat it and have that actually work. It invariable gets put back in some random auto location, even when "Allow autoplacement" isn't checked. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a></p>
Chris Petrilli<p>I'm starting to think that I need to make my own footprints and symbols in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a> for everything I use. Too many annoyances that are very personal preferences. Maybe just copy and paste the library ones and align them with my personal preferences?</p>
0x17 :cch:<p>the TPAD470 is growing. now with working traces (out of hell), choc switches, smaller reset button and fancy colors. only the trackpad pins need to be connected to the microcontroller board. I'm slowly starting to understand <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/KiCad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KiCad</span></a> ^</p>
