Problems & Solutions - Quartz 2025
Kicad Tutorials
Problems:
- Several of the connections in the Schematic Editor didn't have Netclasses
- Footprints were missing for a few of the parts of the Diya PCB
Solutions:
- Make sure to thoroughly check connections to ensure that they have Netclasses
- For the parts that don't have Footprints, use similar ones with the same dimensions
Bare Arduino
Problems:
- Blink program code was not uploading to Arduino, even after changing the breadboards, capacitors, microcontroller (three times), FTDI and as well as the entire setup
Solutions:
- Change the components, since it could be due to a faulty one
- Check setup, making sure that the connections and circuit is correct by following the tutorial
- If still not working, restart from the beginning and try again
- Cross reference BME280 tutorial schematic to Bare Bone Arduino schematic
PCB Schematic
Problems:
- Similar problems to Kicad tutorials, missing Netclasses and Footprints
Solutions:
- Double check everything thoroughly to make sure all connections have Netclasses and that the Netclasses are correct
- For the components missing Footprints, replace with components with similar dimensions
