yes @Caustic or @fredrik (or both ?) , would be a good choice for me, if it plugs them in of course

in any case I think it will be really practical to have an editorial that is regularly present

I had to translate literally to figure out what you meant.
FYI, “Si ça les branche.” is better translated by “If it’s cool with them.” or something like that.

What really plugs me in is seeing talented people using English as a second language posting here.

yes i wanted to say : “if they really agree”, surely a French expression which does not really translate into English
for expressions and also humor, it hardly works when changing languages

Yeah, you know you’ve mastered a new language when you can start making jokes, play on words or, like the great Aznavour did, write a beautiful and touching bilingual song.

  • Easiest way to connect the faceplate mounting holes to your copper ground pour? Working on several plates at once and don’t want to fuss around in schematics for what should be simple…*

Edit: got it figured out haha

Btw I really appreciate this specification thread :smiley:

I fuss around in schematics


You got something easier?

Nope that’s what I ended up doing but not before fussing with getting the copper pours on a proper net and getting the instance of pcbnew into a proper project and blah blah. Got it going now but man I wish you could just do that sort of thing more intuitively

Have you tried manually drawing a filled rectangle on the copper layer instead of a copper pour?
I thought KiCad wasn’t electrically aware of that kind of copper and would not care whether or not is shorted out other nets.
Or, since its just a front panel, can’t you just ignore the DRC failures and generate the Gerber files anyway?

Yeah it will make a trace from the pad fine but it will also remove copper around the trace and just stays isolated from the ground pour. Even when on “no net” which I figured I could hook up anything to
