It is a powerful suite of tools for creating and editing PCB layouts and schematics. This whole set of programs belongs to a separate class, EDA - Electronics Design Automation. Built-in components will allow you to create, visualize, and check the correctness of ERC rules. This software allo...
All you need to do is to solder the components to the board, just like a soldering kit, and your circuit should work. In this kicad tutorial, you’ll learn how to make your first PCB. I’ll show you by creating a super simple project in KiCad. After you’ve done one project, ...

Creating copper fills. How to use Text Variables. How to add a custom logo to the silkscreen. How to create rounded corners. How to use an autorouter. How to use Field named templates. How to use Git for version control. How to use the SPICE circuit simulator. These and many more are...
but could not reproduce them. Opening a thread on the KiCad user forum, or maybe a direct bug report on gitlab are better options. Adding the full KiCad version also helps (and is even mandatory when creating issues on gitlab). If bugs like this get reported and can be reproduced, th...
When creating or editing a pcb design, I regularly find myself sorting though a pile of auto-arranged components to cluster them by circuit function (DCDC section, µC supply decoupling, peripherals with connectors, ...), which could definitely use a schematic-level selection applied to board...
