For the last couple of months I have noticed that the filter by number of pins feature in Cvpcb seems to be broken as no results are displayed when it is selected. I have tried both manually downloaded libraries and letting it use live versions from Github. I had a quick look on the launchpad bug list and nothing has been filed as far as I can tell so I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue or if I should file a bug report.
Details:
KiCad is being built from source
Problem exists in versions from tonight and about a month ago
I have tried it on multiple machines, although with the same software setup
Im running Fedora 27 and while I know a nightlies repo exists they sometimes have other weird issues and automatic update downloads are problematic when it downloads >1G every day when I open my computer
Interestingly, filter by pins does work on my laptop which is also built from source
Laptop:
kicad version 5.0.0-rc2-dev-45-ge3c71efbe
Symbol commit #595fce23456cf8197c4b9a4a1d875669e409beaf
It is also working with the latest COPR version
COPR version on fresh fedora 27 VM:
5.0.0-rc2-dev-unknown-r12485-79fe1344, debug build
built in symbols and footprints
Ill have to get the specific version numbers on my other computer when I get home, although this is starting to look like it may be a configuration issue with my machine
Hello,
I’ve an issue too.
I’m testing with simple lm2901 (14 pins) and lm2904 (8 pins).
If I select the pin number filter, I’ve the wrong result, it give me a 20 pins soic for the lm2901 and a 10 pins soic for the lm2904.
It seems to count every power pins on symbols need to be added…
I’m working on kicad 5 build on debian 9 and I’ve download libraries last week.
This is besides the fact but the symbol should not have the power pins double. That is clearly a mistake in the lib. (They should be on a separate power unit instead.)
