Publication date 2015, May 16. Chapter 1. Introduction to KiCad KiCad is an open-source software tool for the creation of electronic schematic diagrams and PCB artwork. Beneath its singular surface, KiCad component location files and a lot more. Being open source (GPL licensed), KiCad represents the ideal tool for projects oriented towards the creation of electronic hardware with an open-source flavour. On the following site: http://kicad.rohrbacher.net/quicklib.php You will find an example of use of a tool that allows you to quickly create KiCad library components.
