For this to work, back annotation must be supported by EDA. Allegedly KiCad supports this so I gave it a try, but the result doesn’t make any sense.
Starting with R1 and R2 connected in schematics (letti...
I also find it tedious so none of my PCBs since 30+ years had references at them.
Probably not a good idea.
Hi Bertrand. Not tried KiKit, but will investigate. Thanks for the advice.
To generate the gerber, you can use the plugin KiKit to split the board into it’s own project.That’s exactly my workflow on some boards that have a front panel, So I work with both schematic and PCB in the same project. I use GND on one and GND_FP (for the front panel ground). Once my layout is finished I split the board using Kikit (it’s a script that I run) to send them for...
