Getting started with KiCad

What we build in this course, your first KiCad project (two resistors, from the schematic to a copper track), and how to read a datasheet before you draw anything.

1.1

Introduction: the board we design in this course

IntrofreeWatch the video, then start with lesson 1.2. No steps in this lesson.

1.2

Your first project: from schematic to PCB

KiCadfreeA tiny first project: two resistors in the schematic, one wire, then the same connection as a copper track on the PCB.

1.3

How to read a datasheet: the CAT4104 LED driver

TheoryfreeWhere to find what we need in a datasheet: the pins for the symbol, the limits for the schematic and the dimensions for the footprint.
