KiCad-10
Cross Platform Electronics Design Automation Suite
KiCad is a free and open source electronics design application (EDA) that can handle everything from the most basic schematic to a complex hierarchical design with hundreds of sheets. It allows electronics designers to use a tool chain that itself is technically transparent, and that can be customized when needed. KiCad has already been successfully used for key open hardware projects such as the LibreRouter, the HackRF, MNT Reform and UPSAT. This project will improve KiCad's IPC API and editing capabilities, and pursue upgrades for schematics and symbols handling, PCB design, library tooling, and documentation.
