Track connection problems/Errors

[paulvdh]

Ahhrrg, another test project. (I’ve got about 100 of those…).

The simplest solution probably is to:

1. Renumber the footprint, Make two pin numbers “1”, and two pin numbers “2”.
2. Remove the graphical lines you added in the footprint.

This works because KiCad always forces you to connect pins with the same pin number to each other on the PCB. When you do it this way, you also have more freedom with the footprint placement, because the connection between the two similar pins does not have to be a straight line.

This also makes the schematic cleaner, because you only need a schematic symbol for a regular inductor with two pins.

Also: Learn to use net classes. They are a quite handy way of managing different track widths on the PCB.

Thanks - I’ll redo the part!
