Error loading netlist when using a Teensy

[shmish]

I created a schematic, assigned the footprints to schematic symbols and then created the Netlist. In Pcbnew I then load the netlist and it looks like most things worked except for my Teensy 4.0 component. For this component I get the following: “Error: Symbol U1 pad ~ not found in footprint teensy:Teensy40”

I’m guessing the problem is that the shematic symbol for the teensy shows many more pins than the footprint (I think because the teensy board has pads on its bottom side). I didn’t make the footprint or symbol, I downloaded them from pjrc.com, who makes and sells the boards.

I can provide files or images if needed. Thanks!

It might help if you linked to the footprint. I went to the provided link and poked around but didn’t see the footprint.

Yes, the pjrc website can be confusing. I downloaded the library files from here: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/eagle_lib.html

I’ve uploaded the footprint to here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Asq7qW9sV5GylLtuRyVcGun7bbGk4Q?e=WHM1qM

As I’m learning more and more about KiCad, I can see how the problem is likely being many more pins (symbol) than pads (footprint).

I think the symbol/footprint is faulty. It doesn’t make any sense to put pins on the symbol that are not present on the footprint.

I think you’re right. I should make my own symbol and footprint.
