🇳𝗮ꜟ𝖼𝘩<p>This is nuts. I can buy 5 double sided PTH PCBs with solder mask and silk screen, for £1.60. With postage and custom fees, it comes to a total of £3.18. Economies of scale and automation gone mad. It almost makes me feel guilty to get them this cheap.<br /><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Maker</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Electronics</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kicad8" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kicad8</span></a></p>

dc8wan Marco<p>Ich habe ein Problem mit <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a> 8. ich will ein Drecksignal in der <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Simulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Simulation</span></a> erzeugen.

Helge Wurst<p>As I&#39;m wrapping up my first project with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kicad8" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kicad8</span></a> , the overall impression is positive. There are still a couple of idiotic things in there to be encountered, but overall (and as of v8 in particular), it has managed to completely nullify my need for Eagle.</p><p>I&#39;m not saying this lightly. I&#39;ve been waiting for this moment since v4.</p><p>Congratulations, KiCad Team.</p>

بلبل<p>ok kind of clunky and I don't like it but i figured out how to remove them from a single footprint.</p><p>* make sure the footprint is selected before opening edit tear drops menu</p><p>* make sure track to track is not selected and the other options are (depending on your footprint)</p><p>* check selected items only and existing teardrops only</p><p>* select remove teardrops and hit ok</p><p>UI design is hard so I don't like being mean about it but I wonder if there's a better way.</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/kicad8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad8</span></a></p>
بلبل<p>The new teardrop interface in kicad 8 interesting. I kind of prefer being able to edit the zones like they had in 7. this let me delete specific teardrops that I don't want, for example those on exposed pads on qfn and related footprints. I'm not sure how to remove them now?</p><p>If anyone has suggestions on fixes let me know! so far kicad 8 has been great. </p><p>picture for example.

Darran Lofthouse<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kicad" class="u-url mention">@<span>kicad</span></a></span> Was a nice surprise when my local flatpak install moved to 8. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kicad8" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kicad8</span></a></p>
cpresser<p>And 8.0.0 library tags are pushed, the release of <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/KiCad8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KiCad8</span></a> is near 🥳 </p><p>Footprints and symbols were updated to the new version. The format did not change significantly, but enough to warrant a re-save with <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/KiCad8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KiCad8</span></a>. With `kicad-cli` that was really easy.</p><p>The CI-Pipeline that checks KLC conformity is not ready yet, so all your MRs will show red build results. This will be fixed soon.</p>
