Description
Become a KiCad professional and learn one of employer's most requested skills nowadays!
This comprehensive course is designed so that students, engineers, electronics hobbyists... can use KiCad software from scratch to use it in a practical and professional way. Never mind if you have no experience in the software, you will be equally capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with total mastery of the subject.
After several years working as an Engineer, I have realized that nowadays mastering KiCad for the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design is very necessary in engineering, electronics or other industrial applications. KiCad is an open source software (it works without commercial licenses), and that is why it is one of the leaders in the industry and its demand is increasing. Knowing how to use this software can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits, especially in the world of engineering and digital electronics.
The big problem has always been the complexity to perfectly understand the software it requires, since its absolute mastery is not easy. In this course I try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, so that you will be able to carry out and understand your own projects in a short time, thanks to the step-by-step and detailed examples of every concept.
With 8 exclusive hours of video, this comprehensive course leaves no stone unturned! It includes both practical exercises and theoretical examples to master KiCad. The course will teach you PCB design in a practical way, from scratch, and step by step.
We will start with the installation of KiCad software on your computer, regardless of your operating system and computer.
Then, we'll cover a wide variety of topics, including:
Introduction to KiCad and course dynamics
Download and Install KiCad latest version
General familiarization with the user interface and KiCad features
Complete project setup and basic KiCad Commands and Preferences
Design Schematic
Comprehensive focus on Design PCB Board, from zero to advanced (set-up, wiring, 3D view, routing, Design Rule Check - DRC...)
Working with Manufacturing Files (BoM, CPL, Gerber, Drill...)
Making our own library
Full use of KiCad Spice Simulation
Mastery and application of absolutely ALL the functionalities and tools of the software
Practical exercises and much more!
In other words, what I want is to contribute my grain of sand and teach you all those things that I would have liked to know in my beginnings and that nobody explained to me. In this way, you can learn to solve a wide variety of projects quickly and make versatile and complete use of KiCad. And if that were not enough, you will get lifetime access to any class and I will be at your disposal to answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time.
Learning KiCad and PCB design has never been easier. What are you waiting to join?
Who this course is for:
Beginners who have never used KiCad before
Electronics hobbyists, engineers, students... who want to learn a new PCB design and Digital Electronics software
Intermediate or advanced KiCad students/users who want to improve their skills even more!

¡Buenas! Mi nombre es Teresa Gual y vivo en Valencia (España). Tengo 48 años, he estudiado ingeniería mecánica y diseño industrial y por eso me encanta todo lo relacionado con la creación y el diseño de objetos, el dibujo técnico y los softwares de ingeniería.Actualmente soy profesora en secundaria y bachillerato (llevo más de 20 años impartiendo clases) pero también me apasiona la moda y la tecnología. Me encanta estar al día y enterada de las novedades de la actualidad pero también me gusta hacer deporte. Me gusta mucho superarme constantemente y conocer nuevas cosas, ya que siempre pienso que uno no termina nunca de aprender.También me encanta ayudar a las personas. Con mis clases intento aportar mi granito de arena para enseñar a los demás todas esas cosas que me habría encantado saber en mis inicios y que nadie me contó.Hello!
