We have many questions from our Linux community about using Wayland. It is still missing basic functionality that KiCad users have come to expect. We hope that it continues to improve. But for now, if you need to use KiCad on Linux, we recommend installing X11.

KiCad and Wayland Support
The KiCad development team frequently receives questions about our support for Wayland. Given that Fedora and Ubuntu are both planning to drop X11 support in the near future, we want to provide clear,...

인베디드 입문자를 위한 가이드! KiCad를 활용한 기본 LED 회로 설계와 PCB 제작 과정을 단계별로 배워보세요. 이 영상은 간단한 회로로 시작하여 KiCad의 기초 사용법을 익히고, AI를 활용해 심볼과 풋프린트를 만드는 방법까지 소개합니다. 비록 기초적인 내용이지만, 앞으로의 발전 가능성을 엿볼 수 있는 좋은 시작점이 될 것입니다. #KiCad #PCB기초 #임베디드입문 #AI활용기초

Had an idea, and I nerd-sniped myself into building it...

Similar idea to the last ecpbreaker design, but adding the 5Gbps SERDES to enable USB3. The ECP5's serdes supports display-port, so you could probably do some cool alt-mode stuff, but currently only routed for SS USB.

Spun up a new design to add an ESP32-C3 module to the back of the flip-dot module, along with DC power input.

Got a little carried away in inkscape for the silkscreen.
Trying out github.com/30350n/pcb2b..., a plugin that is in the KiCad PCM for exporting textures directly into blender, works great
