On importing a KiCad schematic file into KiCad I get this message:”need a number for comment line 8 offset 13.
This is the line: (comment “Pot wiring: Xn-1=+5V, Xn-2=wiper->NET_Xn, Xn-3=GND. LM2596 VOUT = +5V. TP1-TP4 on-board trimmers. MOSFET diodes external.”) what should I do?
First you certainly should give the KiCad version number, as each version number have its own bugs.
I am still in KiCad V8.
In schematic application in File-Import I don’t see a way to Import KiCad schematic. May be in V9 it was added…
Importing what from where?
It seems that both the source and destination are KiCad files (projects?)
One way is just to copy a KiCad schematic file into your project directory and then add it as a hierarchical sheet to your project.
Another way is to open two KiCad instances, and then just use copy & paste.
I did. I edited the sch file and pasted the new lines into the sch file. But I got the error I mentioned.
Can you tell us the version of KiCad you are using and the first 5 lines of the schematic file from a text editor
I’m using version 9.0.0
the first5 lines:
(kicad_sch
(version 20240121)
(generator “KiCad 9.0.0”)
(paper “A4”)
(title_block
First update to the current release 9.0.5
V9.0.0 was the initial release of V9 and has several hundred bugs fixed since, while the user interface is the same.
What are the lines around that (comment line?
