      Hi all

      New here on Duet3D.
      I am looking for the schematic for Expansion Breakout Board v1.1 but I couldn't find any. Please direct me to the right link if it exists.
      In any case, I've actually tried to download the files from https://github.com/T3P3/Duet/tree/master/Duet_Expansion/Expansion_Breakoutv1.0 and tried opening them on the latest version of KiCAD, but I had some error messages when opening the files (But there was no issue with opening them directly in the browser.)
      I had error message when opening the project itself, the .sch file, the .kicad_pcb file, etc.

      Attached some images here.

      May I know if there's any other alternative source that I can download the files from? 😄

      Would really really appreciate some help here 😄

        @pinkmaro odd - they were made in an older version of KiCAD as 5.0 was not out when that design was done. Try 4.0.7.

          @T3P3Tony Thanks for replying so soon!
          I just downloaded KiCad4.0.7 on another computer (just in case the latest version doesn't clean up properly and causes issue), and tried. I am still getting a similar error. only the line number mentioned is different.

          when I tried to open the .sch file:

              @t3p3tony hi!
              I just managed to get it to work.
              I downloaded the master zip file, unzipped everything and went specifically into the expansion breakout board folder to open the project and everything worked like a charm!
              And of course, it only worked perfectly on KiCad v4.0.7, as it seems they have changed the schematic library portion in the latest stable release, v5.0.1, which causes missing links for components in the schematic.

              Thanks again for the quick replies and assistance!!! 🙂

              By the way, may I know what is the difference between v1.0 and v1.1 of the expansion breakout board?

                @pinkmaro V1.0 was an internal version. the version we shipped was 1.1. I have updated the KiCAD files and documentation on Github to say v1.1, however there are no changes to the design:
