Summary： This book will teach you to use KiCad. Whether you are a hobbyist or an electronics engineer, this book will help you become productive quickly, and start designing your own boards.
Today we'd like to recommend an ebook from Peter Dalmaris - Kicad Like a Pro, 2nd edition.
This book will teach you to use KiCad. Whether you are a hobbyist or an electronics engineer, this book will help you become productive quickly, and start designing your own boards.
For people already familiar with previous versions of Kicad, the transition is seamless, and the changes make its usage easier than before. Features and workflows that used to be broken or problematic, now work (I am looking at you, Library Manager!).
For people new to Kicad, the news is even better.
Kicad's menus and workflows are better organized, making learning much easier. There are fewer "gotchas" and confusing user interface choices. And the Linux, Windows and MacOS versions are almost identical so that those of us that work with all three can feel at home.
The 2nd edition of Kicad Like a Pro is now available as an ebook bundle. This ebook contains everything I know about Kicad and the process of designing and manufacturing printed circuit boards.
It is an excellent resource for anyone interested in making their own PCBs.
If you have never designed a PCB before, use this book to learn the fundamental concepts of PCB design, the terminology, the Kicad workflow.
And, with the help of the four projects, learn by doing.
If you already have PCB design skills and experience, use this book to deepen your knowledge of Kicad and understand some of its more advanced features and techniques, like autorouting and versioning.
As a reader of this ebook, you will receive a bundle that contains three versions:
*A printable PDF file (a total of 459 pages).
*An EPUB file that is compatible with popular ebook readers like iBooks.
