|-
| 00.01
| Dear Friends,

|-
| 00.02
| Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Designing printed circuit board in KiCad.

|-
| 00.07
| In this tutorial we will learn,

|-
| 00.09
|To design printed circuit board in KiCad.

|-
| 00.12
| We are using Ubuntu 12.04 as the operating system.

|-
| 00.16
|With KiCad version: 2011 hyphen 05 hyphen 25 for this tutorial

|-
| 00.25
|Basic knowledge of electronic circuit is a prerequisite for this tutorial

|-
| 00.30
|The user should also know how to design circuit schematic in KiCad,

|-
|00.35
| To do electric rule check ,

|-
|00.37
|To do netlist generation,

|-
| 00.39
|To do mapping of components with footprints

|-
| 00.43
|For relevant tutorials, please visit http://spoken hyphen tutorial.org

|-
| 00.50
|To start KiCad

|-
| 00.52
|Go to the top left corner of Ubuntu desktop screen.

|-
| 00.56
|Click on the first icon (i.e)Dash home

|-
|01.01
|In the search bar write KiCad and press Enter.

|-
| 01.09
|This will open KiCad main window.

|-
| 01.12
|To open EEschema, go to the top panel and Click on EEschema tab.

|-
| 01.19
| An info dialog box will appear which says that it cannot find the schematic.

|-
|01.25
|Click on OK.

|-
|01.28
|I will use the circuit schematic of Astable multivibrator which was created earlier.

|-
| 01.35
|To do this, I will go to the File menu, click on Open.

|-
| 01.42
|Choose the folder in which file is saved.

|-
| 01.49
| Select project1.sch and click Open.

|-
| 01.56
|I will resize the window.

|-
|02.00
|So, now I will click on Open.

|-
|02.06
|This will open the circuit schematic.

|-
|02.08
|I will zoom in using the scroll button of the mouse.

|-
| 02.13
|We have already generated the netlist for this circuit,

|-
| 02.16
|and done mapping of components with corresponding footprints.

|-
| 02.20
|The next step is to create the printed circuit board layout.
|-
| 02.26
| To start with this, Click on Run PCBnew button located on the top panel of EEschema window.

|-
|02.36
|This will open PCBnew window.

|-
| 02.39
| An info dialog box appears saying it did not find project1.brd

|-
| 02.44
| click on OK to close this dialog box.

|-
| 02.49
| Now you can import the footprints by clicking on Read netlist button on the top panel of PCBnew window.

|-
| 02.57
| Here the netlist window opens.

|-
| 03.01
|Keep all the default settings as it is.

|-
| 03.03
|Click on Browse netlist Files button.

|-
| 03.07
|This will open Select netlist window

|-
| 03.13
| I will now resize this window for better view.

|-
| 03.20
| Select project1.net file from desired directory and click on Open.

|-
| 03.27
|Click on Read Current Netlist button.

|-
| 03.30
|It will show warning saying project1.cmp not found.
|-
| 03.35
| Click on OK.

|-
| 03.37
| Now close netlist window by clicking on Close button.

|-
| 03.42
|You can see that all the footprints are imported and placed in top left corner in PCBnew window.

|-
| 03.49
|Now we need to place all footprints in centre of PCBnew window.

|-
| 03.56
|For this click on Manual and Automatic move and place of modules button located on the top panel of PCBnew window.

|-
| 04.08
|Now right click once in the centre of the PCBnew window.

|-
| 04.14
| Go to Glob Move and Place. Then click on Move All Modules.

|-
| 04.22
|This will open a Confirmation window. Click Yes.

|-
| 04.28
|I will zoom in with scroll button of my mouse for better view.

|-
| 04.35
|You may or may not see white wires connecting the terminals of footprints.

|-
| 04.39
|If you do not see them, click on Show or Hide board ratsnest button located on the left panel of PCBnew window.

|-
| 04.51
| White wires are also called as airwires.

|-
| 04.55
|Now we will arrange the modules such that minimum number of airwires cross each other.

|-
| 05.01
|Now right click on IC 555 footprint.

|-
| 05.07
|Go to Footprint options, and click on Move.

|-
| 05.12
|You can see that footprint is tied to cursor.
|-
| 05.16
| You can see that the component moves according to the grid displayed in the background.

|-
| 05.25
| Now click once to place the component wherever required. I am going to place it here.

|-
| 05.33
|It is possible to change the grid spacing using Grid options drop down menu on the top panel of PCBnew window.

|-
| 05.44
|For now, we will go ahead with the default value that is Grid 1.270.

|-
| 05.53
|For moving components you can also use the shortcut key M

|-
| 05.58
|For example, let me show you how to move the capacitor.

|-
| 06.02
| Point the cursor on capacitor.

|-
| 06.05
| Press M. The module will get tied to cursor. You can move it wherever required.

|-
| 06.14
|To place component click once.

|-
| 06.17
|To rotate component, Press R.

|-
| 06.22
|For example, let me rotate the resistor. Place the cursor on the resistor and press R.

|-
| 06.29
| Similarly you can arrange all the components.

|-
| 06.32
|I have already arranged footprints to get minimum intersection between airwires. This is shown here.

|-
| 06.41
|Now we need to convert these airwires in to actual tracks.

|-
| 06.46
| Under the Layer tab on the right side of the PCBnew window select Back layer if not selected. Back layer is represented by green colour.

|-
| 07.01
|Layer selected is pointed by small blue arrow.

|-
| 07.06
|For creating tracks, select Add tracks and vias button located on the right panel of PCBnew window.

|-
| 07.17
|Now let us click on one of the nodes of R1.

|-
| 07.22
|Then we will double-click on node of R2 where wire needs to be connected.

|-
| 07.31
|Similarly we will connect one more wire between Resistor R3 and capacitor C1.

|-
| 07.38
|Let us click on one of the nodes of R3.

|-
| 07.41
|Click once to change direction of wire.

|-
| 07.46
|Then we will double click on the node of C1 where wire needs to be connected.

|-
| 07.51
|The green track created represents actual copper path created on the printed circuit board.

|-
| 07.59
|It is also possible to change the track width.

|-
| 08.02
|This can be done by clicking on Design Rules menu option in the menu bar of PCBnew window.

|-
| 08.11
|Click on Design Rules.

|-
| 08.14
|Design Rules Editor will open where you can change the track width.

|-
| 08.19
|We will change the track width to 1.5. To do this double click on the value of Track Width. Type 1.5 and press Enter.

|-
| 08.34
|For creating the track, we could also use the X key on the keyboard.

|-
| 08.39
|Let me show this to you. Keep the cursor over one of the nodes of LED D1. press the key X.

|-
| 08.48
|Then we will double click on the node of R3 where wire needs to be connected.
|-
| 08.54
|You can see that the width of the track has increased. In this way you can complete the design of the board.

|-
| 09.03
|I have already completed the design for this board here.

|-
| 09.08
|Let me open the completed design board file.

|-
| 09.19
|We also need to draw the PCB edges for completing this design.

|-
| 09.25
|For this we need to select PCB Edges option from Layer tab on the right side of PCBnew window.

|-
| 09.34
|Now click on Add graphic line or polygon button located on the right panel of layout editor window.

|-
| 09.44
|Now let us create a rectangle around this Printed circuit Board.

|-
| 09.49
|Click on the Top left side of layout.

|-
| 09.52
|Move the cursor horizontally towards right.

|-
| 09.56
|Click once to change direction of line.

|-
| 10.00
|Move the cursor vertically downwards.

|-
| 10.04
|Similarly we can complete the rectangle.

|-
| 10.11
|Let me complete this rectangle.

|-
| 10.16
|End the rectangle by double clicking left mouse button.

|-
| 10.24
|Now let us click on File menu and click on the Save option. Please note that this file is saved with the extension .brd

|-
| 10.38
|This completes the board layout for Astable multivibrator circuit
