All you need is to go to the tool menu and select the “assign footprint.” While plenty of footprints exist in Kicad, you can always rely on the filter tool to make your work easier. Run the ERC or the electrical rule checking. Everyone can make an error, and you can easily make...
In this case, because the footprint pads are so small, we need to route away from the pads first before using the differential pair tool. Click on one of your differential pair lines. You will likely find (if your DP widths are large, as is the case for this 2-layer board...
You should also ensure that the pin numbers assigned to the symbols match the footprint layout. Transistors A transistor is a three-terminal semiconductor device. The terminals are the base, collector, and emitter. You should always refer to the component datasheet while mapping the pins in the...
