This course is updated for KiCad 8
This update contains many new and updated lectures to teach you the new features in KiCad 8. For those lectures that I created replacements for, I have moved them to new sections titled “Legacy” so you can still access them. Most new and updated content is in sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 12 (Recipes).
Welcome to KiCad Like a Pro. This course will help you learn how to design Printed Circuit Boards using KiCad.
KiCad is an open-source, free-to-use, and unrestricted tool for PCB design. It is the world’s most popular open-source PCB tool for electronics engineers and hobbyists.
KiCad is supported by a dedicated team of volunteer developers and a growing community of users and contributors.
To create this edition of KiCad Like a Pro, I have used KiCad 7 and KiCad 8.
This course will teach you KiCad so that you can use it in your commercial or hobby projects. It takes a practical approach to learning that combines “how-to” content with complete start-to-finish PCB projects.
If you are new to PCB design, this course will help you start from the ground level. If you are an experienced PCB designer, this course will help you transition to KiCad from another tool or an earlier version of KiCad.
Please read the course description and watch the free lectures in the first section to get more information about this course.
I look forward to learning with you!
