인베디드 입문자를 위한 가이드! KiCad를 활용한 기본 LED 회로 설계와 PCB 제작 과정을 단계별로 배워보세요. 이 영상은 간단한 회로로 시작하여 KiCad의 기초 사용법을 익히고, AI를 활용해 심볼과 풋프린트를 만드는 방법까지 소개합니다. 비록 기초적인 내용이지만, 앞으로의 발전 가능성을 엿볼 수 있는 좋은 시작점이 될 것입니다. #KiCad #PCB기초 #임베디드입문 #AI활용기초 youtube.com/watch?v=TvWi...

Had an idea, and I nerd-sniped myself into building it... Similar idea to the last ecpbreaker design, but adding the 5Gbps SERDES to enable USB3. The ECP5's serdes supports display-port, so you could probably do some cool alt-mode stuff, but currently only routed for SS USB.

Spun up a new design to add an ESP32-C3 module to the back of the flip-dot module, along with DC power input. Got a little carried away in inkscape for the silkscreen. Trying out github.com/30350n/pcb2b..., a plugin that is in the KiCad PCM for exporting textures directly into blender, works great

We're happy to welcome KiCad Brasil (kicadbrasil.com.br) to the family! Aqui é trabalho! 🇧🇷🇧🇷

That was fun! We should do it again!

9.0.1 has been tagged and builds are in progress! Look for the latest and greatest release so far at www.kicad.org shortly!

I was lucky to have discovered KiCad when I began my electronics and badge making journey. That was v5. This year's KiCon will have a lot of talks focused on v9. "It just keeps getting better!"

KiCad für Anfänger: Ein Einstieg in die eigene Elektronik has been released on media.ccc.de #clt25 #Vortrag #V4 #clt25deu https://media.ccc.de/v/clt25-335-kicad-fur-anfanger-ein-einstieg-in-die-eigene-elektronik https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2025/de/programm/beitrag/335

At #OHS2025 you can find out how the volunteer librarians of @kicad.org built a combination of technology, policy, and community to handle the daily contributions that come in from all over the world with Kliment! Get your ticket today: 2025.oshwa.org/attend/

I absolutely love it when my students send me one of their PCBs! Recently I had a chance to teach @colonelpanichacks.bsky.social how to use @kicad.org and he sent me his first PCB: #MakeAllTheThings

Working on a simple, low cost badge for makerville.io for the next IRL conference sometime soon. Designed using @kicad.org and @freecad.bsky.social

Stop by IPC APEX this week and chat with us at booth 942. Should be a great show!

Always awesome to see people trying new things outside their comfort zone and succeeding. Keep it up! You'll be designing your own board in KiCAD in no time. 🎉

Thinking of moving from 'slap a '#RaspberryPi Pico onto a PCB' to 'design a custom 2040 board with a chip on it'. I spotted this book - Design an RP2040 Board with KiCad by @concretedog.bsky.social. Has anyone got it? Opinions? Context: Used Fritzing last time!

Need a feature to help you make the move? Even if we don't have it yet, a single seat is usually more than enough to fund most development efforts over here

The final #FreeCAD video is out! I cover one of the trickier subjects: finite element analysis. I use FreeCAD's FEM workbench to analyze deflection due to stress on a simple bracket. 👇👇👇 youtu.be/FXG0xcjSV5Q #CAD #engineering #mechanical #maker

Last weekend was @fosdem.bsky.social where a huge cohort of the #opensource community descend on Brussels. It's a fantastic event and, of course, FreeCAD had a stand alongside our friends and colleagues KiCad. blog.freecad.org/2025/02/10/f... #FreeCAD #FOSDEM
