For people who are doing PCB designing For hobbyists or professionals, there are many PCB designing software available. The most popular among them are diptrace, orcad, eagle, kicad etc. This tutorial is mainly for those people who haven't tried any professional PCB designer software yet.
Here's a quick guide that will help you get started with kiCAD. In this tutorial, we will consider a simple astable multivibrator circuit using timer IC 555. We will be designing a printed circuit board for this well-known simple circuit. Let me say upfront that I am not an expert in printed circuit board design. My intention is just to explain the necessary steps in Kicad to convert a simple circuit diagram into a gerber file, and also some tips and precautions to be taken when doing the project.
