Newbie trying to solve ERC "pin not connected" errors

Hi, I have a functioning circuit on a stripboard (a simple buffer for a bass guitar) and a friend said "why don't you make it on a PCB it'll look much better, use KiCad it's easy to do" so yesterday I downloaded KiCad and now I'm bashing my head against the inevitable errors...

I have made sure that the connector wires are actually connected to the endpoints of each component (using Drag mode) and tried both connecting the component directly to the buses (top rail is going to be fed via phantom power through the Ring connector on the right, bottom rail is going to ground), or using bus entries. The audio signal from the pickups is going to come in from the left side (IN1) and go to the RING of a TRS output jack (which is also where the 48V DC phantom power is coming through); all grounds go to the sleeve of said TRS jack.

So the million Lira question is: can anyone help me figure out what I have forgotten/omitted/done wrong in the editor? Not looking for review or feedback on the schematic itself of course, just how to format for KiCad to be able to process it without error.

Explainer: fan made art and licensing (updated May 2026)

Hello Crawlers, here’s a quick explainer about the current state of fan art and merch for Matt Dinniman’s IP. We’ll update this as and when circumstances change.

I spoke to Matt’s assistant and she has confirmed that the only official merch site is https://dungeoncrawlercarlmerch.com/

Other sites operate “at risk”: Matt himself isn’t going after anyone, but the right holders can and will (as in the case of HiZev.com).
Matt has said in his post last year that he *wants to* make the license free for fans to make and sell fanart but it’s not happened yet so technically nothing is safe until it is.

What does this mean, concretely, for this sub?

- If you’re linking to a non official merch site (whether yours or not), it’ll be removed as per Rule 3
- If you try to sell your fanart here on the subreddit, it’ll be removed as per Rule 3
- If you’re an artist showcasing your work here, linking to your portfolio on <external site> and do not explicitly try to sell stuff here on the subreddit, we’ll allow it

Hope this clarifies things! If not, please do let us know!

Audiobook readers: Re-download Parade of Horribles!

Hi all,
RE-DOWNLOAD YOUR AUDIOBOOKS!!! There were several fixes pushed out yesterday 12th May, like fixing the issue with chapters cutting off abruptly and the chapter numbers being wrong.

Also don't forget to go to Settings -> Data & Storage -> set Download Quality to High. Audible by default sets it to low and severely reduces the quality of large books (like DCC). You'll have to redownload in order to get the good quality version. Jeff deserves only the best!
