The two day workshop would cover the following topics:<br\>

Need for PCB.

Introduction to KICAD.

A simple example: Schematic entry to PCB layout.

Schematic Entry in detail:

    • Creating custom components.
    • Importing standard libraries.
    • Tools for creating components.

Generating Net list from schematic:

    • Annotation schemes.
    • Matching schematic symbols to footprints.

Footprints:

    • Component packages.
    • Measurement units & standards.
    • Library footprints.
    • Importing footprints.
    • Creating custom footprints.
    • Tools for footprint generation.

Board layout:

    • Importing Net list.
    • Footprint layout & form factor.
    • Layers of design.
    • Single layer, multilayer designs.
    • Manual routing
    • Custom Tracks & vias.
    • Track width calculation.
    • Auto Routing
    • Outline routing tools.
    • Generating custom routes.

Gerber file generation:

    • Finalizing the design.
    • Gerber file format for different layers.
    • Appending multiple boards.

PCB Fabrication:

    • Quick Presentation on PCB fabrication
    • Checking FAB requirements.
