Hey all, I have finally completed my schematic, and gotten all my footprints made. I have run into an issue when importing my netlist. My “OUT” has no connection and I get this warning about net.
What are the rest of the properties of J2. The warning states there is no pin 1, but you have omitted the pin number from your Symbol Properties screen grab.
No, the one just above my post. You show the symbol properties pin functions, but you chopped off the LH side of the table that has the pin number.
Oh, Pin number is MP.
MP is not a pin number. You need a symbol with a pin number 1 that you can connect to C2 & R5.
So, am I not able to make my out just a simple pad? I have no idea how the software set the pin number to MP. Its so weird…
You first need to correct your schematic so you have a symbol that has a pin 1.
You are using the wrong mounting hole. Use the one above, the middle of the three mounting holes. You must have clicked on the wrong mounting hole.
I input the wrong mounting hole in my schematic! The out was a different type than my “In”
Thanks so much!!
What am I striving for in a layout? Should I arrange it neatly and compact?
Ask a thousand people and you will get a thousand answers. 
Make sure your pot is where it is wanted.
Make sure any mounting holes for screws etc. if needed, are in suitable places.
Make sure any connectors are easy to access. eg. your input, output and their appropriate Gnds. Likewise for the battery, if it has connectors to the PCB.
When those parts are all organised, fill in the rest with the components.
Two other things with your schematic: should you have a plug/socket connector between the battery and the PCB and should youu have Gnd returns with your input and your output?
This is going inside a guitar cavity, so I like to wire a battery clip to a pad on the pcb, so It can be spread around guitar cavities if space is limited. Im not sure about the “gnd return” part. I was trying to tweak a pcb that was given to me, to have more of a boost.
it has the IN OUT 9V and GND pads I was trying to input in my schematic.
So, your schematic has a battery included, but you should have a two pin connector or two pads on the schematic, because the battery is not on the PCB, only the wires to the battery are on the PCB.
You also need three Gnd pads. One for the battery, one for the input connection and on for the output connection.
