WHAT? I just bought a full course of Kicad, then i realized it was out of date... Then i was searching for the missing infromations in the internet and end up here in this video... Just shocked that it contains all informations i needed in only 13 minutes... I'm sad and happy at the same time... ahahhaha

This is exactly what I was looking for to get started with KiCAD without all of the filler!

This might be the best tutorial on UKposts.

Thank you for boiling down a complex process into a workflow that is easy to follow.

BRILLIANT SUMMARY! Most tutorials are PAINFULLY SLOW or contain a LOT of unnecessary commentary. They also are not "end to end" process explanations leaving users wondering "What came before?" or "What next?" Your video takes advantage of the fact that it's a VIDEO, not a live lecture - so if someone needs to reference a point that went by a little fast, they just REWIND! I will bookmark this video and refer back to it often. WELL DONE!

Excellent tutorial, I really enjoyed it!

I come back to your video over the last two weeks and my first Kicad PCB design is almost complete, it's also very tiny! Thank you...

Well done! Such a complex task explained in 13 minutes.

Thank you so much, a great into/refresher in only 13 minutes! Really appreciate the start to finish process in a single concise video

Excellent. Short video and straight to the point. Well done!

As a long time Eagle user this is a really useful short intro to KiCad.

Brilliant video. Direct, clear, succinct, and mercifully free of tasteless branding and impertinent background music. ❤

Hey, hey, hey! I did it! I have spent hours watching videos trying to figure out how to make a symbol and footprint for a couple of devices. Then I found this video. And I learned it wasn't so hard after all. You, sir, have my greatest gratitude! Thank you so much for this lesson!

Terrific Video. Clear, concise, easy to understand.

Thank you so much, I haven’t finished the video yet I’m still on create custom foot print, but I’m just starting to get into circuitry and this video has been very helpful on learning how to use kitcad

Thank you for wonderful video. It is quite helpful to get interested in the area of circuit design!

Thank you! Great video for someone like me, who is just getting started with PCB layout.

Great video ! Easy to follow. Congrats.

First KiCAD video I found that shows you exactly what you need to get started when moving over from Eagle! Thanks!

Really short and amazingly complete tutorial. Thank you! Beginners must see!

Thanks for the tutorial! I didn't know whether to use Altium, Fritzzing or Eagle. KiCad looks more promising. Cheers again!

You can easily make a combined footprint of THT and SMD pads, which lets you simplify the design process and the look of the schematics. And it's also a good idea to make ground-plane.

Crisp 🎉 Thank you, this is my style of learning. You saved me a lot of time. My family and friends appreciate that. Have an amazing day

Great introduction to KiCad, Thanks!

Thank you, I am currently in college this helps a lot keep up the great work.

thanks for this! i'm coming from EAGLE trying to learn KiCAD and this was a great intro, exactly what i needed.

thank you for perfect kicad quick start guide

Great tutorial, thanks! Now I just need to figure out what to build. ☺

Can just echo all the other comments. Such a concise to the point guide getting started with KiCad7. Thank you as well for clearly highlighting the relevant shortcut keys. Really awesome tutorial. 😊😊

This video is a gold-mine! Perfect for a quick summary of all the steps needed. Thanks a lot!

Wow. I hope KiCad acknowledge you for this, you explained like you created the software yourself

Other than the panelization feedback below I think this is a very well made and useful video. Thanks for publishing such a succinct tutorial.

Really enjoyed this!

That was to the point. Top!

Thanks a lot! Sort of the 'hello world ' for C, but now for schematics & pcb design. Very informative!

Excellent! tutorial including making a custom part! I'm going to give KiCAD a much more serious look.

Thanks for posting that tutorial! Solder paste and a hot air soldering station are recommended.

you helped me fall in love with kicad

Great video! I loved how it wasn't too long but included the fundamentals needed for beginners. Thanks!

I have designed and had PCB’s made using Fritzing. You might have me switching to KiCad now. Thanks!

amazing video. thank you. this is all i needed.

That's great, thanks for making this so concise

This video got me started with KiCAD and led me to share my experience in the comments.

If others made video like you the world would be in a better place. Thank you for excellent video.

Wow this helps to demystify some of the Kicad workflow.

Excellent video. Straight to the point!

Thank you for good path description.

That was straight to the points 😮

thanks for this and save tons of my time learning!!

Exactly what I needed, thanks!!!

Really nicely done -- thank you!

Thank you for the great tutorial.

I love this video! Precise, fast and all relevant subjects are mentioned to help a newbie in KiCad 7 like me. Is there any information regarding symbols connecting to 3D models? THX Kassen

Excellent tutorial, Thank you.

Very nice! I especially liked the panalization technique...cheers.

Your videos are a great resource, thank you.

thanks i'm just learning but this was very helpful

Hi, very nice and neat presentation that approaches all KiCAD modules without fuss :)

Great video, very intuitive. thank you

excellent video. Thanks. Design Graveyard no!. You have resurrected my interest in PCB design

Thank you for such a good video about kicad.

Awesome tutorial!!! Thanks 👍👍👍

Very helpful, thank you!

Great tutorial. Keep the good work!

Thank you for this video! New sub.

absolute tutorial perfection.

Excellent content!

Great video asside from a few things, 1. You didnt show the footprint selection for J1, J2, and D3, but i was able to see them in the logs when you transferred from schematic to PCB. 2nd, it is hard to follow what you did (or maybe im just dumb) im stuck on 7:45 wondering how you flipped the red pads (will edit when i figure it out) Edit: ok i went back into footprint editor and change the pads, idk if its the right way to do it but hopefully itll still work Edit: im on 8:09 why cant i put the track to the one where i want to. I'm trying to connect D1(1) to R1(1) but it only lets me connect to R1(2), pls reply if u know how to fix, is it flipped on schematic editor? bc i cant tell bc its symmetrical. Edit: Ok i just fixed it by flipping it, there were also other issues with wiring that i fixed by moving the wired around Edit: also what is the difference between this and the "make your own digispark USb in the description:

You have explained very well 👌👍 thank you sir

Thanks for the very informative video.

Precies wat ik nodig had, thanks!

Great video. Want to start now with KiCad 8.

Dear Sir, this is by far the most well presented tutorial on how to use KiCad along with a practical example. I'm a recent graduate with electrical background. I decided to chase PCB design career. If you offer any tips/ pieces of advice for young adults/ and engineers on how to get good at this profession, that would be so kind. I made the circuit and can't wait to test it.

Amazing explanation!

very nice video ..perfect to start

thanks for the video please make a tutorial on how to place exposed copper tracks for higher current for example those high power tracks used on inverter boards linking mosfets and igbts

Great tutorial, thanks!

perfect explanation step by step ..

Brilliant, thank you.

12:40 "So the PCB works very good". I do NOT agree! It works very WELL!

sir, nice teaching, thanks

Thanks so much for explaining things quickly, clearly, and succinctly . . . So many tutorials get lost in irrelevant details - it can be frustrating for people who want to get started! Excellent job 👍

Superb - thank you Mr. T

Really good paced tutorial! 👌👍 Could you add how to prepare for ie. jlcpcb manufacturing - like bom list prepare or generation?

I have seen people put holes on the board's edges while panelizing. This makes it easy to break them after receiving the boards. I am curious as to why you didn't do that and how you managed to take them apart.

Very concise, well executed tutorial. Thanks for posting. Do you have the Kicad project, and gerbers posted somewhere easy to download?

I copied step by step what you do and I have problems: A) the notation of the usb pads is reversed: pad1=+5v pad2=D+ pad3=D- pad4=GND problem B) with connectors=it is not displayed, there is no footprint as with you problem C) in ATiny, my forests have notations and yours don't. All this in PCBeditor

Thanks. I realize now I was using Kicad the wrong way.

The Y axis distance between J1 and J2 for the ATtiny25 pins to fit well is 7.62 mm apart, They're going to fit anyway, if anyone was wandering becasue of the design, but an exact 7.62 mm will give a nice snug fit. Then choose between the chip and the SMD as you desire with no issues.

Thank You so much, some parts went by pretty fast but we can rewind. I am trying to find a simple yet effective App to build boards I need for my Model Train Controls. I would hope there would be more automated solutions but I see they sell those for big money. Maybe I can learn this one well enough. My Laptop in my upstairs office doesn't have a mouse so when you offer key commands that is a big help. Crt C for copy etc. I have always wanted to build my own board because i like to add pins for test points and Leds for Status indicators. Thank You Again, Dennis

this was very helpful

Sir if only I could be as good as you. I'll try my best to try out this KiCad features. Thank you so much sir :D

What's the footprint for the D3 LED? Thanks in advance!

Thank you, but how can I set a relation between componets (in pcb mode). I want to center for example the usb footprint to the middle of the Edge of the board (y axis) or at least how can I set dimensions?

Awesome 🇧🇷😉👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks for this video

This is very good to show how easy it is to use KiCad but you should of made more of a statement early of how fast you would operate and that its intention is a fast overview for someone starting, like a broad overivew. It does come across a little arrogant when that is at the end. To compliment maybe use the same board but do a series where you explain stuff in far more detail. I'm subscribing so will check out the other videos soon.

baie dankie. video het my baie gehelp👍

This is nice job

Thanks for the great tutorial. just a quick question, were the 2 though-holes connector designed to place the chip? then what are the SMD pads for?
