KiCAD Tutorials

  • The following links are to the best KiCAD Tutorials that I've found. They're the only ones with voice narration. Unfortunately, the video's creator thought it would be better to use a synthesized voice. It can be quite tiresome. (Posted by Chris Lau 4/9/12)


  • I enjoyed the Tutorials 1 and 2 that Chris put on the page it is very good at specifying the basics. (Matthew Blaire 4/10/12)
    • I also Have found a helpful tutorial on creating components Add Component Tutorial
    • All of the relating tutorials to this one are pretty decent as well, but most of the material is covered in the tutorials that Chris posted



  • Video on how to install KiCad onto Windows and how to use KiCad (Posted by Trent Fleming 4/17/12)
  • A FAQ page on many different parts of of KiCAD. From creating parts to schematic to PCB layout. (Cody Lorenz. Posted millions of years after the class ended. Actually 4/22/2012)
