KiCAD PCB design software

With Mike Willis, G0MJW

The aim of this talk is an introduction to designing printed circuit boards (PCBs) using the popular open source KiCAD package.

Printed circuit boards are the basis of many amateur radio projects, and this talk demonstrates that anyone can design one, giving tips on how to ensure the board works and all the parts fit.

The presentation covers the basics in real time, starting with a circuit sketch, going through the process of converting that into a schematic diagram, and then using that to create a PCB design, and concluding with how to send this out for production.

Tonight @ 8 webinars are live-streamed on our YouTube channel and special BATC channel, allowing you to watch the presentations and ask questions online

All Tonight @ 8 webinars start 20.00 UK local time
