Create Prototyping area in Kicad 6 Breadboard compatible

Two Options:

  1. If wanting a Footprint
    • Create new Footprint> Add Pad, Create Array from the Pad

  2. If Not wanting Footprint
    • Add Pad, Create Array from the Pad
    (save the project and reuse a copy of it or, make it a reusable Template)

I did Not bother to add Silk/Text/etc… Both are shown below…

Both will Look, Smell and Taste the same but, Option 2 is preferred (by me) because you can easily add traces to/from Pads for desired connections and they’re retained. Thus, you can make a PCB as shown in OP’s first link

It’s more difficult to make Traces in Footprints (without knowledge of how)…
