So important to have requirements set up for the less "agile" world of hardware, but really like the idea of having a framework set to go. Have worked with a few contract agencies at past co's and that would have impressed th

Anuj has some great advice below. Maybe also try contacting Anool ( https://twitter.com/anool ) to ask a similar question? He works with a couple different companies and is a huge supporter of the KiCad project (writes about

At one point I started thinking about setting up a business around KiCad with a ruggedized and supported distribution of the EDA, similar to how Red Hat works. The name? Tin Hat.

Yep, that's the thing about EDA. The curve is so steep, it's pretty hard to get someone to switch unless there is a disruptive event in their electronics life. I'll be saying the same some day about switching away from KiCad,

KiCad definitely has a learning curve, which is why I made these and many other videos. I have scaled back my arguments a bit, but I'm not a fan of the network connected, in-browser tools (wrote about it previously here: https:/&

I've heard others say the same recently. I've always liked their intuitive breadboarding stuff, though haven't used it much. A lot of user-facing friendliness, which KiCad lacks to be sure. Normally I'd call out the &quo

I'd say moving from EAGLE is one of the biggest shifts because the symbol and footprint aren't automatically tied together in KiCad. However, it is possible! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLo4xQNHTcY

Good thinking, I like that. I normally zoom when for these kinds of details, didn't realize at the time the view was not sufficient.

Also, not to be the old guy...cables don't bug me THAT much. I'll take USB C and charge with 100W instead, thank you very much!

Yep! There was a 16 week session last year where we built a bench instrument. This year we're about 8 months into a robot build with multiple boards. It's now "ongoing" content, so we have legacy content and people signi

It's my belief that the future is a portfolio of things you built as a "resume". We have been building embedded projects (and the hardware around them) in my program called Contextual Electronics ( http://contextual
