Giving Tuesday – KiCad open-source design #GivingTuesday 💻🔧🌍❤️🤝

KiCad is an open-source software suite for electronic design automation (EDA), enabling users to design schematics and printed circuit boards (PCBs). KiCad is a great, free, open tool for creating complex designs, from hobbyist projects to professional-grade hardware. As an open-source initiative, KiCad promotes accessibility and collaboration, making advanced EDA tools freely available. Supporting KiCad helps the development of features, bug fixes, and community-driven improvements, empowering engineers, educators, and hobbyists worldwide. Consider donating to KiCad to strengthen the open-source hardware community and help make high-quality EDA tools accessible to everyone.

In the past year, they posted this nifty chart that shows what your support can help accomplish.

If KiCad is valuable to you, please consider donating to help make it even better.
