-===== Assign footprints =====+Continue by assigning fooprints on the [[kicad cvpcb]] page.
  
- +After doing footprint assignment, don't forget to save!
-So far, our schematic contains symbols that represent the electrical +
-behavior of our parts, but ignore their size and shape on the board. +
-In prepartion for layout, each symbol needs to be assigned a "footprint" +
- +
-There's an important dialog for this: The "Assign PCB Footprints to +
-Schematic Symbols" tool.  (toolbar or menu) +
- +
-{{ :assign-filter-buttons.png?100|}} +
-Remember from the video there are three filter-control buttons on the toolbar +
-of "Assign Footprints" Select the "#" (match number of pins) and "L" +
-(match library) filters +
- +
-Our connectors, J1 through J4, are generic symbols - they aren't +
-associated with an actual connector that we can buy or place on a +
-board.  Take a moment to notice where J1 through J4 are located on the +
-schematic.  If you used the defaults for "annotate", J1 should be on the left, +
-J2, J3, and J4 on the right. +
- +
- +
-For the connector on the left, we want a female or socket type that +
-lays down against the board.  +
-Look in the Connector_PinSocket_2.54mm library, and select the footprint  +
-"PinSocket_1x03_P2.54mm_Horizontal" for J1. +
- +
-Next go to the Connector_PinHeader_2.54mm library. +
-Of the three on the right, set J2 to  PinHeader_1x03_P2.54mm_Horizontal. +
-For the remaining two on the right, J3 and J4, use PinHeader_1x03_P2.54mm_Vertical. +
- +
-Set the footprint for both LEDs to "LED_D5.0mm", found in the LED_THT library. +
- +
-For all of the resistors, use the Resistor_THT library. +
-Set the footprint for R1 and R2 to R_Axial_DIN0207_L6.3mm_D2.5mm_P10.16mm_Horizontal +
- +
-When you're done, the dialog should look like: +
- +
-{{ :assign-footprint2.png?400 |}} +
- +
-Don't forget to save!+
  
 ===== Create Netlist ===== ===== Create Netlist =====
  
 +The last step do be done in the schematic editor is creating the //netlist//.
 Push the green Create Netlist ("Net") button, and accept the default name. Push the green Create Netlist ("Net") button, and accept the default name.
 that's it! you should be able open up the pcb editor, hit "read netlist", and see all of your parts. that's it! you should be able open up the pcb editor, hit "read netlist", and see all of your parts.
