KiCad 介绍
KiCad EDA 是一款开源的电子设计自动化（EDA）软件，基于 GPLv3 开源协议，最初由法国人 Jean-Pierre Charras 于 1992 年推出，现由 KiCad 开源社区维护。
KiCad 提供了一个完整的设计流程，从原理图到 PCB 布局，以及 3D 模型和 BOM 生成。KiCad支持多种文件格式，可以与其他EDA软件兼容，并且可以在多种操作系统上运行，包括 Windows，Linux 和 Mac OS X，软件包含工程项目管理、原理图设计、线路板绘制、符号库设计、封装库设计、线路板 3D 显示、Gerber 查看、线路板实用计算等工具。
KiCad的用户界面友好，易于使用，拥有丰富的功能，可以满足电子设计师的需求，KiCad 目前支持英语、法语、德语、意大利语、中文、日语、韩语、俄文等 22 种语言版本，方便全球开发人员使用。

Simple-Add-On PCB Workshop
我们为与会者预留了长达两个小时的时间来设计自己的 SAO PCB。 这项活动由 HQNextPCB 赞助。目的是让大家在使用 KiCAD 的过程中获得一些创造性的乐趣。 通过使用不同的 PCB 层和制造工艺，我们可以制作出一些有趣的小型 PCB。请携带一些 SVG 图样或草图来设计您的 PCB。
如果有足够多的人以前没有使用过 KiCAD 软件，这段时间还可以举办一个 “KiCAD 软件使用入门 “的小型研讨会。
注：如您有兴趣参与活动，请自行携带笔记本电脑（提前安装 KiCad 7）
有关简单 Simeple-Add-On（SAO）接口的更多信息可点击下方链接。
We have set aside up to two hours for attendees to design up their own SAO PCB. This is sponsored by HQNextPCB. The object here is to have some creative fun with KiCAD. By using the various PCB layers and manufacturing processes we can create some small interesting and fun PCB’s. Bring along some SVG artwork or sketches for your PCB design.
This time period might also provide time for a small workshop on an ‘Introduction to Using the KiCAD Software’ if there are enough people that haven’t used it before.
Notice：If you have interested in this event, please bring your laptop with KiCad 7 installed.
