- kiCAD
Kicad Tutorial
1
Workflow (a project-based workflow)
- drawing a schematic: Schematic Editor. Which components are in the design and how they are connected.
- custom symbols may need to be created if appropriate symbols aren't available.
- footprints are also selected for each component
- laying out a circuit board: PCB Editor
- footprints are the copper pads that match the pins on a physical component
- editing symbols: Symbol Editor
- editing footprints: Footprint Editor
1. Schematics. Connect through
- lines.
- network labels.
- hierarchical labels.
- global labels.
Arduino Uno custom shield
-
The connectors are already available at the Templates.
-
The values can be edited by E key.
-
Copy the labels and the text and rectangle
-
Cut the wires from the unused connectors.
-
Some of the sensors are already in the kiCAD library. SO it is easy to include into the system.
