KiCad Help - Schematic to PCB

Hi Guys,

I'm hoping there is someone here who is amazing with KiCad. I'm having some difficulty creating a PCB for the small diaphragm Royer mod power supply. A lot of people have told me that this is quite a simple circuit and I could probably do it point-to-point. I thought that seeing as this is such a simple circuit it would be a good exercise in learning how to go from schematic to PCB. I'll stick to point-to-point with the tube wiring, trying my best to sort out a PCB for the power supply though.

I'm kind of stuck, I think the schematic looks kind of OK but I'm not sure about anything I've done after that. I've linked a zip with all the relevant files in it, could someone be so kind as to have a look for me and steer me in the right direction?

Thanks, below is a link to the Royer mod 2 (not the 2001 Royer mod).

What exactly are you stuck with? 1st thing, add some I/O modules, I like to use the 'bornier' screw terminals (already a footprint for that in kicad). 2nd, your track width is only 8 mils... bump that up to something like .06" at least. The wider the better. (this is done under 'design rules'.

Anyway, off to bed. good luck.

One thing I'm stuck on is how to show where a wire comes off the PCB in the schematic and which footprint to use e.g. wires connecting the PCB to the 5-pin XLR.

Also, I'm not sure I've shown the power connection correctly or how to show it on the PCB.

Use "conn_2" (3,4,5 whatever you need) in eschema. Then assign the bornier2,3,4,5 etc for use in the pcb editor.

You can use net labels to define your xlr pins, pwr in, etc.
