       Q: How do you know you're using a 32-bit microcontroller?A: When the component symbol is larger than the drawing sheet.

       @niconiconi I know there are 8-pin ARMs, and I know there are 6-pin microcontrollers, but is there an ARM or any other 32-bit arch based MCU that comes in 6 pins?

       @niconiconi I have a merge request cooking that fixes this exact issue with STM32 symbols in Kicad by splitting them up 😅

       @jaseg@chaos.social If drawn properly to drafting conventions, almost every non-trivial part in every circuit requires custom splitting. So I always see the default symbols library as only a template that nobody serious about drafting should actually use, regardless of the default quality (but few are serious about drafting these days).

       @niconiconi yeah I agree. TBH for ICs like these, I don’t see the point in the symbol file containing an actual graphical representation of the rectangle. I think they should just have an interface where you drag and drop the pins where you want them.
