KiCAT 3d shapes not working

juanmrodrigues 12 Mar 2021, 23:29 last edited by juanmrodrigues 12 Mar 2021, 23:30

Hi all,
After 2 years I restarted working my Home sensors and my MySensors projects. I want to create some PCB and decided to start working with KiCAT.
I'm using version 5.1 and was able to import libraries and assign 3d shapes to MySensor components. However, the MySensors 3d shapes look to be wrong. Their size is too big when compared with KiCAT standard components.
Has anyone of you gone through this issue? Any workaround?

Thanks in advance.

This is the fork we're using: https://github.com/TMRh20/RF24 Could you create an issue for TMRh20 here: https://github.com/TMRh20/RF24/issues?state=open

For a very long time I’m looking for an application where the NRF24L01 + will be, but I can’t find it. So if someone tells me I will be grateful.

@hek it's a python script that can be runned standalone from the terminal. By the way it's the only way I could make it work on my system. Apparently some linux versions of KiCad 5 are build without scripting support, so it crashes with segfault when this script is present in kicad's plugin folder. But as a command line script it needs only *.kicad_pcb file as an argument to work.

Hi, I'm still rather new at this myself, but here are a few questions/remarks: How did you label your connections? I would think you need "global labels" which are surrounded by an arrow like shape in KiCad. Yours look like regular text. Why add +5V and +3.3V labels to your power inputs? They are globally accessible without additional labeling. AMS1117-3.3v datasheet mentions a single tantalum capacitor of 22uF on output only. I'm unsure why you put the other capacitors on those regulators. I used the same regulator and went by the discussion here. You should run the annotation tool and electronic rules check. It will probably complain about the power not being driven. You can solve this by connecting the input power and ground with the PWR_FLAG power symbol. You should mark the unused connections on the MCU with "no connect" cross mark. I hope this helps.
