ERC/DRC common errors and how to use it like TDD // KiCad
#erc #drc #kicad When designing my recent project with PCBWay https://www.pcbway.com/, I had to run ERC (Electrical Rules Check) and DRC (Design Rules Check) in the schematic and routing. In this video, I go through 3 common errors for ERC and DRC each and how to solve them with KiCad. I end with a discussion on using Test-Driven Development philosophy in ERC/DRC. Is that better?
