The zipped schematic file in the attachments may only be compatible with gschem of the gEDA electronic toolkit, so compatibility varies.

Sharky.....You must look at the schematics with the pcb alongside it.PDF http :// open - source - energy . org / forum / attachment . php ? aid =765 Ziphttp :// open - source - energy . org / forum / attachment . php ? aid =982

In kicad you map all schematic components to modules which are the definitions of the actual casings, etc.

The pin numbers in the schematic are not necesarry the same as the module pin numbers you see in the datasheets. If you look at the pcb (see attachment) you see that the pin numbers for the tip120 (Q1) are in the order 2, 3, 1 which you can lookup in the schematic and you will see that they correspond to the actual datasheet pins for base, collector, emitter.

So yes it is kind of non logical but in the end on the pcb it is correct. What do you mean by voltage of positive connection? The +batt is 12V which goes to the 7810 and
