Making Hardware with KiCad and Friends KiCad is a well-established Open Source EDA suite that provides tools for most of the basic tasks in circuit design. In larger projects, and especially those of an open and collaborative nature, additional requirements appear that KiCad can only partially satisfy. Specifically, collaborative projects benefit from visualization that helps to quickly follow the work of others and to track a project's revision history. Furthermore, an automated and thus easily reproducible workflow lowers the barrier of entry and avoids costly mistakes. In the Qi-Hardware project, we use KiCad as the centerpiece for various hardware designs and enhance its functionality with patches or external programs. This presentation will describe the complete workflow from design to fabrication, introduce the various tools we use to complement KiCad, and also briefly address common design rules.
