Now there is a resistor!
Now we can also add a LED the same way.

Connector mounting pins
Make sure to add VCC and GND to your design even when you use pins to connect something

Now we can go and make the circuit board.
#### Pcb layout part
In here you will define the physical placement of the pcb.
You can do anything with pcb's and you can make them any shape you want.
##### Assigning footprints

When importing I got this error
This is because we didn't tell KiCad what type of components they are (SMD or through pins)

After you've assigned it all it should look like this.

In here yo can set design rules for the print.
These settings are based on the machine it is produced on.
For high power circuits you need to set bigger traces otherwise you have a higher resistance and the traces will get hot.

Don't forget to change the settings in `Net Classes`
