For all you kicad experts out there. I'm attempting to layout a simple board that makes a board to convert a 28 pin prom foot print to a 32 pin PLCC. Really simple starting project.. nope.. kick my arss. It thinks i'm tying to tie together 2 eprom and says the lines are not driven. How do I tell the #$## the 28 pin device is just a plug? Play no attention to the circuit, I just want to get through the kicad proccessand then I'll get the electronics right.

DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Re: KiCAD help me..
Every where theres an arrow. Heres a subset of the issues. All warnings? Is this something you just ignore?

Re: KiCAD help me..
are you sure the nets are actually connected ? If you can move the IC the nets should follow the IC.. if they don't, the nets haven't connected...

Re: KiCAD help me..
Yes ,there's no errors, it will let me go onto the layout program. Guess its just like the warnings some c compilers throw out. Guess for now I'll ignore them since their just warning. :)

Re: KiCAD help me..
What version of KiCad are you using? It looks and sounds odd to me...

Re: KiCAD help me..
Its the latest version for the mac. Going to forge ahead since its just calling them warnings.. There's a pyramid of settings that determine what's reported, what's warnings, and what's errors. Down the road I'll play with that but now I want to get through the process.

Re: KiCAD help me..
This is normal KiCAD behaviour. The warnings are originating from the ERC (Electrical Rules Checker).
From KiCad's point of view, you just wired two ROMs together which doesn't make sense. You can either ignore the warnings (not advisable since the ERC is usually really helpful to alert you of e.g. unconnected wires) or make KiCad aware that your pins are indeed off-board connections.
You could - for example - replace your 27C256 with two 14 pin connectors or - probably a bit misleading - edit a copy of it in the library editor and make all its pins "passive" (connector pins have this attribute by default).
To understand the ERC rules, go to "Tools->Electrical Rules Checker -> Options" and play with the rule settings.

Re: KiCAD help me..
Eagle has similar warning for this. I just go in the ERC and mark them as approved.
I was going to check Kicad soon (on OS X too) and hope there is a way to do something similar.

Re: KiCAD help me..
Yes, its what I suspected after playing around a little. For now I'll just leave them as warnings and forge on. Thanks for the assistance. I'm sure I'll have additional questions.
