From the project

KiCad-based PCB design projects covering schematic, PCB layout, footprint integration, and 3D view. PCB designs are also uploaded on Boardrepo (Refer to the link provided)

A PCB design for a servo motor tester circuit, created using KiCad.

Designed a 555-timer-based PWM servo motor tester with an adjustable potentiometer for varying the PWM signal to sweep it through its range of motion.

The project was developed to practice PCB designing.
