Dear KiCad community,
I have to use the Artik10 computer for a big project. And I wonder what is the best strategy for building the part schematics. It has a lot of pins and I would like to sort them by function. But putting all in one big part makes it really big. So I would prefer to split it in module by function. But I’m not sure how to do it properly.
Ok, I’ll try that way. Thank you.
It seems to work the way I need it. Just another question, is it possible to move independently between units the reference field and the Value field ? Because my modules doesn’t have the same size.
Also is it possible to modify the A/B etc, by something more explicit like Power or USB ?
Afaik, the current library format doesn’t allow that (yet).
There is only one field for those values with positions per part. The different sub-parts are differentiated in a ‘DRAW’ section of the symbol definition…
Quite possible that this will change in future once EEschema is refuirbished… months/year away.
Afaik no, probably in (far) future.
The format only knows sub-parts by having elements in the draw sections that have a different number at an index position.
For single parts all drawing elements have a ‘1’ at that place.
For multi parts ‘1’ equals ‘A’ and ‘2’ is ‘B’ and so on…
