1 | Making Hardware with KiCad and Friends |
2 | |
3 | KiCad is a well-established Open Source EDA suite that provides tools |
4 | for most of the basic tasks in circuit design. In larger projects, |
5 | and especially those of an open and collaborative nature, additional |
6 | requirements appear that KiCad can only partially satisfy. |
7 | |
8 | Specifically, collaborative projects benefit from visualization that |
9 | helps to quickly follow the work of others and to track a project's |
10 | revision history. Furthermore, an automated and thus easily |
11 | reproducible workflow lowers the barrier of entry and avoids costly |
12 | mistakes. |
13 | |
14 | In the Qi-Hardware project, we use KiCad as the centerpiece for various |
15 | hardware designs and enhance its functionality with patches or external |
16 | programs. This presentation will describe the complete workflow from |
17 | design to fabrication, introduce the various tools we use to complement |
18 | KiCad, and also briefly address common design rules. |
