Software-update: KiCad 10.0.1

Versie 10.0.1 van KiCad is uitgebracht. KiCad is een verzameling opensourceprogramma's waarmee elektronische schema's en printplaatlay-outs ontworpen kunnen worden. Verder kan het een bill of materials, Gerber-bestanden en een 3d-weergave van het pcb en de componenten maken. KiCad beschikt over een uitgebreide bibliotheek van componenten, inclusief het symbool, de footprint en 3d-modellen. Een Spice-simulator ontbreekt evenmin. De changelog voor deze uitgave kan hieronder worden gevonden.

Echt geniaal programma; heb al wat kleine bordjes zonder problemen gemaakt en ben bezig met wat ingewikkeldere hobbymatig. Met elke versie wordt het een stuk beter/makkelijker om moeilijkere PCB’s voor elkaar te krijgen. Kan de volgende guide van harte aanbevelen;

Voor een gratis tool (en zelfs voor een betaalde) is het inderdaad uitstekend. En de releases gaan best hard tegenwoordig. Er word echt aan gewerkt.

Het werkt inderdaad heel goed, gebruik dit ook op mijn werk voor PCB design. Ook voor PCBA. Vooral de jobsets die zie bij KiCad 9 hebben uitgebracht was echt een goeie uitbreiding voor ook professioneel gebruik. Via een eigen ontwikkelde github actions worden er nu automatisch bij ons gerbers en BOM files gegenereerd biij elke commit!

Altijd mooi om te horen dat open source ook een plekje in het bedrijfsleven krijgt. Ik gebruik het zelf alleen voor de hobby.

Ook zonder die video's kan je ver komen door gewoon met google te zoeken wat je wil. De community is zo groot dat een antwoord op je vraag makkelijk gevonden wordt op forums, youtube en andere bronnen.

Het enige waar ik mee worstel is het toevoegen van databases (aan v8). Om een TO220 3D tekening toe te voegen had ik de instructies gevolgd dat met een database mee kwam maar het gaf geen resultaat. En over het net zag ik meer van die klachten.
