I am a new user, playing around with KiCad for about 2 hrs now.
Made a simple circuit with KiCad. ERC, Netlist, BOM all worked well with no warnings/errors.
However, when I attempt to do the footprint thing, CvPcb opens up and shows a notice:
"Some files could not be found!
- smd_crystal&oscillator.mod
- smd_dil.mod"
When I then close this message box, I see in the left 2/3 in bluish white, empty.
However, I somehow expected to see the components list there.
Loading the .net file via File->Open doesn’t change anything.
In the bottom bar I read “Components: 0 (free: 0)”
However, the netlist file itself appears to look fine. It contains all components, nets etc.
What am I doing wrong?
I’d really be happy for any idea what I could try, as I feel stuck now…
My OS and kicad versions:
- FreeBSD 10.2
- Eeschema (2013-Dec-23)-stable
- CvPcb (2013-Dec-23)-stable
P.S.: I attempted to upload the netlist file, but I got a message that I cannot to yet as I am new user.
