How I Learned To Stop Worrying (And Love The )

A Podcast
So Why KiCad?
Some Things Suck
• Stable Build Support • Mac Support (Regardless of stated cross plaIorm nature)
• Lack of Info • Lack of libraries • And given my co-‐workers: It’s not AlMum
• Open • Free
• A Challenge(?) • Encourages OSHW
KiCad is the missing piece. It allows a fully open design.
Demos
• Simple board • My Board • Crazy boards
• Features – SchemaMc – Layout (Esp. P&S)
