HI
Every body
I am hobbyist not a professional nor student and I have no education or any study in electronic field .
but I am leaning from vdo tutorials etc…
I like to design a circuit with kicad . I chose Arduino mini ver3 due to its simple circuit and not complicated …
I am facing problem to design BAS21/SOT23 Schematic symbol and foot print library and I am using imac os X how to add both libraries Eeschema and brd footprints…
Please help where to download libraries and how to add in kicad libraries in tables…
thanks
Yes, most Arduinos (including the Arduino Pro Mini) use the ATmega328P.
A schematic symbol for the ATmega328P is available in the standard KiCad libraries. In KiCad 4.0.7, it’s in the atmel library, and in KiCad 5.x, it’s in the MCU_Microchip_ATmega library.
I also have an alternate schematic symbol for the ATmega328P in my avr-arduino library. The difference is that mine has the pins labeled with the Arduino pin numbers, in addition to the manufacturer’s pin names.
Small addition to Chris Gammels “Getting to Blinky” video:
When designing new schematic symbols you really want to put all the pins on a 100mill grid.
Or else you can easily put yourself in a spot where you get annoying problems while drawing the schematic.
Or even better, draw the whole symbol to conform to the library guidelines: https://kicad.org/libraries/klc/#_symbol_guidelines
But this is probably a bit (too) much if you are just learing to draw your first schematic symbol.
(But drawing the pins on a 100 mill grid is imporant enough to repeat it here).
