Would You Be Interested in Roadtesting KiCad EDA?

rscasny

KiCad has a following on the element14 Community, so we figured it would be a good thing to roadtest. It's a little different than what we usually roadtest, so we have a few questions. KiCad is free, so we were wondering what the potential roadtesters would like to see in the roadtest kit. There was a suggestion for the roadtesters to design a Raspberry Pi HAT. But we could also use a Pi/Ardunio library or even someone's own design. 

I have some polls below. I'd appreciate you voting. Thanks.

  • Great exploration RoadTest idea, committee members!

    I suggest providing three projects the candidates can select from. They can enhance the build with their own design ideas. The Shopping cart enables them to purchase the parts for the build.

    The RoadTest could be divided for different skills. Some folks in our community are masters of this tool. I would never be able to complete against them but know I can surely learn from them. Each skill level requires the use of more KiCAD features. (i.e. ground plan on PCB)

    I completed a training course where the students constructed a breadboard power supply. There is nothing that promotes learning more than doing. Maybe each candidate shares a tip or trick they learned while using the product.

    I have some other ideas to enhance the review but will save them for an application pitch:)
