PCB Design in KiCAD | Zero To Maker Workshop

🔗 *The full Workshop* : _https://core-electronics.com.au/courses/zero-to-maker-workshop/_

In this video of the Zero to Maker Workshop, we will go through the 3 steps of designing a PCB in KiCAD. First, we will lay out our board schematic, as well as create some custom component schematics, then we will assign footprints (also making our own custom footprints). Then we will lay it all out and go through the steps of getting your board sent to a fab house.
