Learn KiCad 10 from absolute zero experience and create a real, manufacturable PCB from start to finish!
In this complete KiCad 10 beginner tutorial, I walk you through the entire PCB design workflow step by step — starting with installing KiCad and ending with exporting Gerber files and ordering your finished PCB from JLCPCB.
This tutorial is designed for beginners who have never used KiCad before. By the end of the video, you will understand the complete process of turning an idea into a real printed circuit board.
In this video, you will learn:
✅ Installing KiCad 10
✅ Creating a new KiCad project
✅ Understanding the KiCad workflow
✅ Drawing schematics (schematic capture)
✅ Adding and editing components
✅ Annotating your schematic
✅ Assigning PCB footprints
✅ Running Electrical Rules Check (ERC)
✅ Moving from schematic to PCB layout
✅ Creating the PCB outline using Edge Cuts
✅ Component placement and board organization
✅ Routing PCB traces
✅ Adding copper zones / ground planes
✅ Preparing the board for manufacturing
✅ Exporting Gerber and drill files
✅ Checking manufacturing files
✅ Ordering your PCB from JLCPCB
Whether you are a complete beginner, electronics hobbyist, maker, engineer, or someone moving from breadboards to professional PCB design, this tutorial will give you the foundation needed to start designing your own circuit boards with KiCad.
KiCad is a powerful, free, and open-source PCB design tool used by hobbyists, students, and professionals around the world. Learning this workflow will allow you to take your electronics projects from an idea all the way to a physical PCB.
