| Dear Friends,

|-
| 00.02
| Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Mapping components with footprints in KiCad

|-
| 00.07
| In this s spoken tutorial, we will learn

|-
| 00.10
|To map components with corresponding footprints.

|-
| 00.13
| Basic knowledge of electronic circuit is pre-requisite for this tutorial.

|-
| 00.18
|User should know how to design circuit schematic in KiCad,

|-
| 00.23
|And do electric rule check and netlist generation.

|-
| 00.26
|For relevant tutorials, please visit spoken hyphen tutorial.org

|-
|00.33
| We are using Ubuntu 12.04 as an operating system

|-
|00.37
|With KiCad 2011 hyphen 05 hyphen 25 for this tutorial.

|-
| 00.47
|To start KiCad,

|-
| 00.49
|Go to the top left corner of Ubuntu desktop screen.

|-
| 00.52
|Click on the first icon (i.e.)Dash home.

|-
| 00.56
|In the search bar type 'KiCad' and press Enter.

|-
| 01.04
|This will open KiCad main window.

|-
|01.07
|To open EEschema, go to the top panel. Click on EEschema tab.

|-
| 01.17
|An info dialog box will appear which says that it cannot find the schematic.

|-
| 01.21
|Click on OK.

|-
| 01.24
| I will use the circuit schematic of Astable multivibrator which was created earlier.
|-
|01.30
| To do this, I will go to the File menu, click on Open.

|-
| 01.37
|I will bring this window in the visible area.

|-
| 01.44
| Choose the folder in which the file is saved.

|-
| 01.50
| and click on Open.

|-
| 01.55
|This will open the circuit schematic.

|-
|01.57
|I will zoom in using the scroll button of the mouse

|-
| 02.02
|We have already generated the netlist for this circuit.

|-
| 02.07
|Let us now look at the process of mapping the components used in the schematic with footprints.

|-
| 02.14
|Footprint is the actual layout of the component which is placed in the Printed Circuit Board.

|-
| 02.21
| To start mapping of the components,

|-
|02.24
|Go to the top panel of EEschema window.

|-
| 02.28
| Click on the Run Cvpcb button.

|-
| 02.33
| This will open the Cvpcb window.

|-
| 02.37
| It will also open a dialog box titled Component Library Error.

|-
| 02.42
|Click on OK button to close it.

|-
| 02.47
| Notice that it opens project1.net file. Please recall that we had generated this file in the netlist generation tutorial.

|-
| 02.58
|The Cvpcb window is divided into two panels.

|-
| 03.03
|The first column in the left panel is the serial number.

|-
| 03.07
|The second column shows reference id for list of components used in schematic.

|-
| 03.14
| The third column shows values of the corresponding components.

|-
| 03.19
| The right panel gives a list of footprints available.

|-
| 03.25
|Now we will map the components with their associated footprints.

|-
| 03.30
| We can see list of footprints available for selected component (i.e) C1 in the right part of Cvpcb window.
|-
| 03.41
| We will now view footprint corresponding to the selected component.

|-
| 03.45
| On the top panel of Cvpcb window click on View selected footprint

|-
| 03.53
|This will open footprint window which displays the image of footprint selected.

|-
| 04.02
|We can also see images of different footprints by clicking on them

|-
| 04.12
|I will close footprint window now.

|-
| 04.15
|For the first component C1, we will choose the footprint C1 from right panel.

|-
| 04.22
| To assign C1 footprint to first component, double click on the footprint.

|-
| 04.27
|As you can see, C1 footprint gets assigned to the first component in the list.

|-
| 04.34
|Similarly for the second component C2 also we will choose footprint C1 by double clicking on it.

|-
| 04.43
|For the next component D1 we choose LED hyphen 3MM.

|-
| 04.50
|For connector P1 we choose SIL hyphen 2 from the right panel.

|-
| 05.02
| I will scroll down in the right panel to select it.

|-
| 05.09
|For R1 we choose R3. .
|-
| 05.13
|For R2 we choose R3.

|-
| 05.17
|For R3 we choose R3.

|-
| 05.22
|For U1 i.e. LM555 we choose DIP hyphen 8 underscore 300 underscore ELL which is a standard eight pin IC footprint

|-
| 05.38
| Now we will save the netlist by clicking on Save netlist and footprint files button on the top panel of Cvpcb window.

|-
| 05.48
| This will open Save Net and Component List window

|-
| 05.54
|I will resize this window for better view.

|-
| 06.00
|Click on Save to save this file. This will save the file and also close the Cvpcb window automatically.

|-
| 06.13
|Now the netlist is updated with footprints information.

|-
| 06.18
|Here the process of mapping the components is complete.

|-
| 06.21
| Go to the EEschema window. Now close this window.

|-
| 06.29
| Also close the KiCad main window.

|-
| 06.35
|This brings us to the end of this tutorial.

|-
