Title: Kicad footprint question
Post by: harryklippton on January 24, 2022, 04:50:53 PM
I've been farting around in kicad a bit trying to get familiar with it but I'm having a hard time figuring out which footprint to use for offboard wire connections. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Do you use the Madbean footprints library ? There is potentiometer pads, various switch pads, audio jacks & DC jacks, and 4 sorts of single pads.
If you don't use this library, you can use the KiCad inline socket footprint, just choose the number of pads you need.
See picture attached.
