#kicad #schematic #electronics I did my first schematic(WIP) ever, in KiCad. I have to wire it on the perfboard now. I do not want to do that, it will be a mess probably. If only there was some tool to automatically find optimal/close-to-optimal layout. I have 3.3V, 5V, 6V, 12V(battery) on a single board. I did not add buck converters yet(6v, 6v) Any perfboard layout tips are welcome! :blobcat_mlem: Complaining⚠️ : I kind of did not like the workflow. I wish it was a lot more automatic, parametric like geometry CADs. Dragging components is scary, it breaks everything: - wires connect randomly - things just stay in place, disconnect I want automatic wire routing and arrangement on schematic, I just specify what connects to what, and it won't change those connections. I wanted something that feels like writing Rust, when the tooling is smart and robust. This felt very manual like traditional graphical editor, word-processor.
