Getting Started with KiCad EDA - Eeschema Schematic Capture

Elektor TV

KiCad EDA is a free, open-source schematics capture and printed circuit board (PCB) design tool. After many years of development it has become a very capable tool that maybe some day will become the Linux of electronics design CAD tools.

In this video you will learn how to get started with #KiCad EDA and draw your first schematic. It will take you all the way, from symbol creation via the annotation tool and the electrical rules check (ERC) to the netlist.

Version of Eeschema used in this video: (5.1.6)-1, release build.
