😂 leaning heavily into the learning by failing here, the combination of strategic pin selection in the schematic and component placing in the PCB is fun puzzle (that I'm apparently terrible at), getting to grips with KiCad though 👍
concretedog@krs3 have you discovered floods yet? Good way to attach say all GND without having to trace/wire em!
@concretedog ahh I was wondering about that seemed like there should be a simpler way 👍🏻 I think I need to read up on the basics before I go any further
@krs3 so theres a flood tool a few down from the wire trace. With it selected you click on the page and get a list of 'nets' to select to attach the flood too, so say select GND or VCC or whatever you want, then click to draw corners of an area with ladt point closing it and it should automatically flood and connect everything on that net to it.
@concretedog this makes things a lot simpler, I was labouring (literally) under the impression that for simplish circuit two layers should be plenty I didn’t know about routing planes 🤯
@concretedog ah and you can also do a ground plane on the same layer using the flood and keep it to two layers
@krs3 also... do you know about vias?! Swap trace side mid trace!
@concretedog I did not! I had suspicions something like that must exist now I know the name for it 👍🏻
