I am trying to work through the tutorial on KiCad and it seems that the discrete pads are missing. I have already installed in OSX with the extra package. Are there some ways to add these components to my install?

  • Please add version you used. It seems 4.0.7 and github follow this message: "Deprecated - DO NOT USE" but not the tutorial on the website... sight. – ZF007 May 31 '18 at 00:26

  1. When you are working on your schema in Eeschema go to the Run Cvpcb icon.
  2. Select from the left panel Resistors.
  3. Middle panel select R1 or R2.
  4. From the right panel (in my case) you select "61". This is a through-hole with a footprint distance of 7.62mm horizontal. This matches the eagle 0207/10 footprint fairly.

I found they were not in libraries by default. I had to open the settings in CvPcb and append the discrete library.

  • Perhaps you can enrich your answer with a quick steptrough how to do that. – ZF007 May 31 '18 at 00:12
  • I did nothing more than just try to work through the tutorial and don't have it around to even try to recreate this. I'm sorry. – tylerjw Jun 01 '18 at 15:31
