| 00.01
| Dear Friends,

|-
| 00.03
| Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Electric rule check and netlist generation in KiCad

|-
| 00.09
| In this tutorial, we will learn

|-
| 00.12
|To assign values to components

|-
| 00.14
| To perform electric rule check.

|-
| 00.17
|And to generate netlist for schematic created

|-
| 00.21
|We are using Ubuntu 12.04 as the operating system .

|-
| 00.25
|With KiCad version 2011 hyphen 05 hyphen 25 for this tutorial.

|-
|00.33
| Basic knowledge of electronic circuit is pre-requisite for this tutorial.

|-
|00.38
|User should also know how to design circuit schematic in KiCad

|-
| 00.42
|For relevant tutorials, please visit the link spoken hyphen tutorial.org

|-
| 00.49
|To start KiCad,

|-
| 00.50
|Go to the top left corner of ubuntu desktop screen.

|-
| 00.56
|Click on the first icon i.e, Dash home.

|-
| 01.01
|In the search tab write KiCad and press Enter

|-
|01.10
|This will open the KiCad main window

|-
| 01.13
|Click on EEschema tab.

|-
| 01.17
| An Info dialog box appears saying it cannot find schematic.

|-
| 01.21
|Click on OK.

|-
| 01.23
| We will use the file project1.sch created earlier.

|-
|01.29
| Go to File menu and click on Open.

|-
| 01.33
|Select project1.sch from desired directory.

|-
| 01.44
| We will now assign values to components.

|-
| 01.49
| Let us assign value to R2 component.

|-
| 01.54
|Keep cursor over R, corresponding to R2 resistor.

|-
|02.01
|Right click and choose Field value

|-
| 02.05
|This will open Edit value field window.

|-
| 02.11
|Type 1M and click on OK.

|-
| 02.17
|As you can see 1M (i.e., 1 mega ohm) value is assigned to the resistor R2.

|-
| 02.24
| I have already assigned values to other components in the similar way.

|-
|02.29
|Next step is to perform electric rule check on this circuit

|-
| 02.36
| Go to top panel of EEschema window.

|-
| 02.39
| Click on Perform Electric Rule Check button.

|-
| 02.44
| This will open the EEschema Erc window.

|-
| 02.48
|Click on Test Erc button.

|-
| 02.52
| We can see that there are two errors.

|-
| 02.56
|Both errors say that the terminals have no power sources.

|-
| 03.00
|Click on the Close button.

|-
| 03.03
|In the schematic, the error nodes are pointed by arrows.

|-
| 03.12
| Let us connect a power Flag here. So then kicad will know that we are going to connect a power supply here.

|-
| 03.22
| For this,

|-
| 03.24
|On the right panel, click on Place a power port button.

|-
| 03.29
| Now click on the EEschema window to open the component selection window

|-
| 03.34
| Click on List All button and you can see list of power notations.

|-
| 03.40
| Choose PWR_(underscore)FLAG and click on OK.

|-
| 03.49
|We will place the Power flag near Vcc terminal.

|-
| 03.55
|Click on the EEschema to place it.

|-
| 03.59
|We need two such power flags since there are two errors of such type.

|-
| 04.05
|Keep the cursor on the power flag and then press c to copy it.

|-
| 04.10
| Place this power flag near the ground terminal.

|-
| 04.15
|Now we will connect the power flag with wires. Go to right panel and click place a wire button.

|-
| 04.24
|Now connect the power flag to VCC terminal

|-
| 04.35
|Similarly connect the power flag to the ground terminal

|-
| 04.44
|We will now run the Schematic ERC check once again to confirm.

|-
| 04.49
| For this, click on the Perform Electric Rules Check on the top panel of EEschema window.

|-
| 04.55
|This will open the EEschema Erc window.

|-
| 04.58
|Click on Test Erc button.

|-
| 05.01
|We can see that there are no errors.

|-
| 05.04
|Click on Close

|-
| 05.07
| Now let us see how to generate netlist.

|-
| 05.10
|Netlist gives information about list of components and nodes that connects them together.

|-
| 05.16
| We will see the use of netlist as we proceed further in this tutorial.

|-
| 05.20
|For generating netlist, go to the top panel. Click on netlist generation button.

|-
| 05.27
|This will open up the Netlist window.

|-
| 05.31
|This window contains tabs which allow you to generate netlist in different formats.
|-
| 05.38
|For kicad we will use Pcbnew tab.

|-
| 05.42
| Keep Default format option checked and click on Netlist button.

|-
| 05.48
| Note that it saves the netlist file with name project1.net

|-
| 05.54
|Please note that when the netlist is generated, the file is saved with .net extension.

|-
| 06.00
|Click on the Save button.

|-
| 06.02
|Let me resize the window.

|-
|06.04
|Click on the Save button.

|-
|06.06
| Netlist file contains information about components in the circuit required for printed circuit board design.

|-
| 06.14
| We will see the use of this netlist file in another tutorial.

|-
| 06.20
|Go to File menu and choose Save Whole Schematic Project to save this schematic.

|-
| 06.27
|Go to File menu and choose Quit to close EEschema window

|-
| 06.32
|In KiCad main window,

|-
| 06.34
| Go to File menu and choose Quit. This will close the KiCad main window.

|-
| 06.40
|In this tutorial we learnt,

|-
| 06.44
|To assign values to components

|-
| 06.46
|To check and correct for errors in circuit schematic

|-
| 06.50
| To generate netlist for circuit.
