I am completely new to KiCAD and attempting to follow the videos in Getting to Blinky and getting frustrated with Creating Schematic Symbols.
I’m on an Arch Linux system with KiCAD 5.1.1. As in the video (at approx 8:35), I “set the grid to 25.0 mil instead of 50.0”. Should I not have done that? Because now, everything I do gives me:
This pin is not on a 50 mils grid which will make it difficult to connect to in the schematic.
I eventually found a setting that suggested it would auto-snap, but it doesn’t appear to be doing so. (I deleted the part, closed KiCAD et al, and restarted after changing the preference, but, no joy.)
(Also, my pins get not only the number and name, but have the text Input
hanging off the ends of them.)
