Description
This course is for the previous version of KiCad, which is KiCad 5. the latest version is KiCad. If you are not looking specifically for KiCad 5 then stay tuned, the KiCad 6 course will be published very soon.
This course will teach you in a systematic way how to use KiCad for your Printed Circuit Board design, it will take you from not knowing the software to making a development board at the final project without overwhelming you with a large number of hours of videos to watch.
The approach is to teach you the software through creating a simple project and continuing it in every following section in the workflow to create the final design.
The course ends with a project to create REV1 of a motor controller board, then you will be asked to create REV2 of it.
The last project will be creating a development board with the guidance of the videos and lectures text in the final section.
Extreme care was given while creating the lectures of the course for the best video and audio quality, and smooth transition between lectures. all efforts were done to average the videos of the lectures to about 5 minutes were possible
Enjoy learning!
Who Should Attend!
- Electronics hobbyists, electrical and electronics engineering students, engineers, and whoever is interested in creating Printed Circuit Boards
