Plugin to analyze the wires in the PCB editor. To use the plugin, two points must be marked on the board. This is best two pads that are connected with a wire. The tool then determines the DC resistance between the two points. A parasitic inductance wired also estimated. In future versions, the parasitic capacitance to the ground plane will be determined.
First install Kicad-Parasitic from the Kicad "Plugin and Content Manager", then:
- open Kicad
- go to File -> Open Demo Project ...
- select Stickhub folder
- select StickHub.kicad_pro
- open StickHub.kicad_pcb
- zoom in to the front layer, close to the USB connector
- select the two D- vias
- press on the "parasitic" icon
