Ready to take your circuit designs to the next level? IEEE Concordia brings you: Printed Circuit Board Design using KiCad! What is PCB design? PCB design is the placement of components and their connections inside a delimited space using a computer-aided design software. IMPORTANT INFORMATION - No previous experience required. - For this event, you have to bring your own laptop. - Download KiCad BEFORE the tutorial, you can get your free copy at https://www.kicad.org/download/ In this two-part PCB tutorial series, you will learn how to design a printed circuit board (PCB) starting with the schematic drawing of your circuit. Part 1 will focus on creating the schematic diagram, which is the foundation for the layout and design of your PCB. PART 1 – INTRO TO SCHEMATIC DESIGN: - Introduction to PCB design - Overview of the schematic diagram and its importance in PCB design - Creating a new project and adding components to the schematic - Connecting components using nets and wires - Adding labels, values, and annotations to the schematic - Checking the schematic for errors and fixing them - Generating a netlist and saving the schematic file By the end of part 1, you will have a complete schematic diagram of your circuit design, ready to be imported into a PCB layout software for the next step in the PCB design process. Stay tuned for part 2, where we will cover PCB layout and routing!
