This week we’ll be looking at making a blinky badge in KiCad. Blinky badges are those circuit boards you see hanging around people’s necks at any nerd related conference. Some of them are highly sophisticated and some are just eye candy. Just about all of them blink. The hope of this live stream is to …
This is the last part of the three part Kicad series. In this episode we will be learning how to take component footprints and put them together to make the final PCB product. If you missed the first two videos you can find them here and here. I will be ordering this particular design and …

Welcome to the first ever Skinny Research and Development tutorial. In this episode I’ll teach you how to use the schematic (Eeschema) portion of KiCad to layout a circuit design. This is Part 1 of a three episode series to show how to take a hand written schematic and turn it into a manufactured circuit board. …
