In the next part of this KiCad tutorial, we’re going to take a look at assigning footprints (the physical representation of components) to the parts in our schematic.

Here is a short tutorial explaining the inner functioning a hot swap device while outlining key design challenges. It also includes hot swap circuit schematics and design examples.

FreeCAD started out a little shaky, but it has gotten better and better. If you are trying to draw a schematic, it probably isn’t the best way to do it. However, it is a great graphical alter… ...
