Learn KiCad with an Embedded Systems Engineer

ke7aqmlh
ke7aqmlh over 4 years ago

Hey all!

I am an Embedded Systems Engineer, I am currently working on a Master's in Computer Engineering, and I just started a YouTube channel (Kuit the Geek) to share some of my skills! I know many people are becoming more and more interested in PCB design, and I have been thinking of starting a series that covers how to use the EDA KiCad. I use KiCad as my daily driver at work with all of the design that I do, and I am curious as to how many people would be interested in seeing this series. I just launched my first short series where I am taking a project from the Zachtronics game Shenzhen I/O and I am walking through the design as an actual engineer might solve the problem. The project is a simple fake security camera, and it really is only a microcontroller and a few LEDs. But I have designed a professional circuit board, and I am going to design the mechanical enclosure to look like a little security camera, and I will finish up with some code and the full assembly. I shared a comment on today's Element 14 video about common PCB design pitfalls, and mayermakes suggested I should share what I am doing here. I am excited to share some of my experience with others, and I hope that some will find this interesting.

You can find the channel on YouTube at youtube.com/c/kuitthegeek

    I would follow. I have an interest in spacing and layout as well as efficient use of KiCad.

    Hi

    I too would be interested in learning more about the KiCad.

    Sounds interesting.  I’ve been thinking that I might want to design something this summer.  I haven’t done a PCB design in years.  I used to use Cadence Allegro.

    I'm very interested to learn about KiCad too - nice to see that it's free and open source!

     

    I've been using Eagle, but so far I've only created one board (and a couple of basic designs that I never got printed).

    I'm just starting on a second one, so the timing is perfect.
    It's all hobby for me, but with custom PCB prices dropping so low right now I'll likely do a lot more for future projects.

    What is your YouTube channel?

     

    Thanks,

    -Nico

    I am a KiCad user but can always learn from others.
