Yes, it is short notice, but the 2015 season of Second-Tuesday-of-the-Month speaker series kicks off at HIVE13 this Tuesday, January 13, at 7:30pm when Hive COO Jon Neal will provide an electrifying introduction to KICAD printed circuit board (PCB) design.

You’ve wanted it. You’ve asked for it. Now, here it is.

Resolve to use these cold winter months to learn how to design and make your own PCB designs at Hive13!

This was short notice since we only decided on it in the last week.

Sorry to anyone who wants to make it, but can’t! I will be trying to do a more in depth class on kicad before the end of the month.

This talk is only meant to be a short demo and light intro to kicad. It looks like it may be recorded if that can be pulled together in time and I will post any of my files online once I have given the talk.
