Hi,
I searched quite a bit on google , but I still cannot find a tutorial to create a KICAD footprint for a BGA component. Could someone please pint me to a good tutorial?
Try one of the wizards - might save you a lot of time, especially with BGA’s…
Hi. I was having similar issues.
I copied the files from the link into C:\Program Files\KiCad\bin\scripting\plugins.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit professional.
KiCad is in its default location, and I have the latest build installed:26-09-15 BZR6224, Git b504252.
I open the footprint editor and click the wizard symbol, A new window opens and a blank small and large screen open.
Click the wizard symbol in the new window menu and a sub window opens asking what script you want to run.
Select…
I tried the wizard. I used the https://github.com/xesscorp/xess_fp_wizard . I copied it into my scripts/plugins directory. However, when I use footprint wizard the symbol does not show up at all when I say select the one I want to run. I am using Windows 7, 64 bit

hi, you could use also the standard plugin wizard for BGA, but the problem you are having probably is related to the installer path:
I can’t figure out how to use the footprint wizard built into KiCad Footprint Editor.
When I launch it via “New footprint using the footprint wizard”, there are no parameters to fill in. Inside the wizard, “Select the wizard script to load and run” just brings up an empty list.
I’m using the RC for Windows, installed as an update from previous nightly builds.
Any ideas how to get that working?
