An Intro to KiCad – Part 2: Create a Schematic Symbol | DigiKey

In Part two Shawn provides a detailed walkthrough of creating a custom schematic symbol in KiCad V4.07. Using a datasheet for a 7555 timer as a reference, Shawn creates Pins, assigns Pin labels, and lays them out according to his project. Not every part requires custom symbol creation and by utilizing Digi-Key’s symbol and footprint library you can create your schematic and layout your board much faster.
