KiCad 9.0 and my 6-hour project video on Youtube #tutorial


 

Hi all,
?
KiCad 9.0 is finally here, and to mark the occasion I have published a 6-hour (!!!) video on Youtube.?
?
In this video, I show the complete process of how I designed a 4-layer PCB with a variety of interesting components, like an ESP32 C3, USB C, battery controller, flash memory, etc.?
?
I used the release candidates of KiCad 9 during January, mostly RC1 and RC2.
?
My objective was to experience KiCad 9 in a realistic non-trivial project and get first-hand experience of the productivity gains that we can expect from the latest refinements in the UI and several new features (the zone manager is my favourite).
?
I hope you will enjoy this video.
?
It's a big one, and an experiment I wanted to do for a long time to determine if people on Youtube are interested in this kind of content.
?
?
I appreciate your feedback.
?
Enjoy!
?
Peter

I haven't had time to work on KiCad projects in a while.? It has changed so much in the meantime.? I was hoping for a video, or set of videos, that would show the updated workings of KiCad.? Thanks much for this.? Oh, if something should happen to your copy, I'll have a copy here.? Sometimes youtube spits and sputters so I just download and watch local.? Can't be internet since I have a fiber connection.?
?
Thanks again.?
