PCB Layout Design with KiCad Part I: Introduction & Schematic Capture
In this blog entry, I will introduce the printed circuit board (PCB) design flow. I will then proceed to focus on the schematic capture section of the PCB design flow by using the KiCad PCB design tool to create a schematic for a simple LED blinker circuit. The PCB layout section of the design flow…
