I'm cloning a PCB in #KiCAD. I'm not doing back annotation to a schematic. Just dropping footprints and tracks down on a background reference image.
Is there any way to get Kicad to give me another of what I just put down in the same orientation I just put it? Every click, put down another of what I last put down?
This used to be easy in #eagle back in the day.
Neuer Kurs am 7. und 14.04.2025!
Du bist im Raum #winterthur zuhause, möchtest deine eigene Elektronik-Platine mit #KiCad 8/9 entwerfen und für wenig Geld bei einem Anbieter bestellen, oder du möchtest von einem anderen Platinen-Tool auf KiCad umsteigen?
Dann ist unser neuer Kurs genau das richtige für dich!
Du lernst, wie du in In 25 Schritten und für USD 12.– zur ersten eigenen Elektronik-Platine kommst
Unter https://fablabwinti.ch/kurse/elektronik-arduino-kurse/kicad-8-fuer-anfaenger/ findest du alle Infos und kannst dich direkt anmelden!
I suppose it's time for an #introduction as well!
We're Xasin, Neira and Mesh, a bunch of furry nerds, enjoying their OpenSource shenanigans on projects such as #diy #smarthome and other #electronics - mostly with #FreeCAD and #Kicad
We're finishing up our M.Sc. in Energy technology, finished an amazing internship at the #Fusion experiment #Wendelstein and will be hopping over to #CERN next!
You'll mostly see progress updates on work and personal tinkering here, we try to keep it meaningful!
Time for an #introduction I guess.
I am:
- #Eindhoven native
- Physicist by training
- Software developer by profession (industrial and medical equipment, mainly #C++, but also #C and #Python)
- Electronics tinkerer (#ESP8266, #D1Mini, #mechanicalkeyboards, #platformio, #kicad)
- Smart home hobbyist (#HomeAssistant, #MQTT, #Tasmota)
- Into #selfhosting (#docker, #mailpile, #pihole)
- 3D printing early adopter (since 2014, #prusa, #marlin, #fusion360)
Since on Mastodon there's a higher chance of non-followers seeing this, I might as well do an #introduction :)
Hi, I'm Arturo, I tinker with #electronics, #pcb, #kicad, #firmware, #opensource, #openhardware
I'm the founder of a company named Solder Party, if you're in the electronics community, you might've seen my stuff. Everything I release is open source, SW and HW.
