From the project
i have created my frist pcb using KiCad-10, 1-layer AC to DC Converter PCB Design.
A compact, through-hole 12V AC to DC converter PCB designed in KiCad 10.0. This project converts 12V AC input into smooth DC output using a full-bridge rectifier with filtering, and includes a power indicator LED.
