From the project

This is the first project from the book Kicad Like a Pro. It implements a simple breadboard power supply.

This is the first project from the book and video course Kicad Like a Pro. It implements a simple breadboard power supply.

In this project, you will use all of Kicad’s main features that you learned about in Parts 2 and 3 of the book. Particularly, you will learn:

1.How to design a schematic of your board in Eeschema

2.How to design a layout for your board with externally-imposed physical restrictions
