I'm trying to fix DRC (Design Rule Check) violations in my KiCad PCB design. I need help with:
|
|
|
|
1. Understanding what these DRC errors mean
|

2. Knowing how to fix each type of violation
|
|
3. Best practices for preventing DRC issues in future designs

Here are the specific DRC errors I'm seeing (please list errors from your DRC report, or use the kicad://drc/path_to_project resource to see your full DRC report):

I want to create custom design rules for my KiCad PCB. My project has the following requirements:

3. [Mention any manufacturing constraints]

Please help me set up appropriate design rules for my KiCad project, including:
|

|
- Minimum trace width and clearance settings
|
|
- Via size and drill constraints
|
|
- Layer stack considerations
|
|
- Other important design rules

Explain how to configure these rules in KiCad and how to verify they're being applied correctly.
