Arduino Nano PCB Designs with KiCad (Design your own Arduino PCB Using the KiCad Program)

In this course, "Arduino Nano PCB Designs with KiCad," you'll learn how to design an Arduino Nano board using KiCad, a free and user-friendly software for electronic design. KiCad's intuitive interface makes it easy for beginners and experienced designers to create printed circuit boards (PCBs). This course will help you gain new skills in electronic design and enhance your personal development.

KiCad is an open-source software suite that captures schematics and layout PCBs with Gerber output. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS and is free to use under the GNU GPL v3 license. The course "Arduino Nano PCB Designs with KiCad" focuses on quickly learning prototyping and understanding the design logic rather than getting bogged down in extensive details. Even though the course is based on KiCad version 5, the core principles remain the same, making it easy to adapt to newer versions.

KiCad has been continuously developed since Jean-Pierre Charras released it in 1992. It is managed by a technical committee and led by a project leader to ensure it meets the needs of both professional and novice users. KiCad aims to be the best cross-platform electronics design tool available, balancing advanced features with user-friendly accessibility. For more information on KiCad’s history and updates, you can check out presentations from past FOSDEM conferences.
