Zaka zitatu ndi theka chiyambireni kutulutsidwa kwakukulu komaliza, kutulutsidwa kwa mapangidwe aulere othandizidwa ndi makompyuta a ma board osindikizidwa a KiCad 6.0.0 kwasindikizidwa. Aka ndi koyamba kutulutsidwa kofunikira pulojekitiyi itakhala pansi pa mapiko a Linux Foundation. Zomanga zimakonzekera magawo osiyanasiyana a Linux, Windows ndi macOS. Khodiyo imalembedwa mu C++ pogwiritsa ntchito laibulale ya wxWidgets ndipo ili ndi chilolezo pansi pa layisensi ya GPLv3.
KiCad imapereka zida zosinthira mabwalo amagetsi ndi matabwa osindikizira, mawonekedwe a 3D a bolodi, kugwira ntchito ndi laibulale yazinthu zamagetsi zamagetsi, kuwongolera ma tempuleti a Gerber, kufananiza magwiridwe antchito amagetsi, kukonza matabwa osindikizidwa ndi kasamalidwe ka polojekiti. Pulojekitiyi imaperekanso malaibulale azinthu zamagetsi, mapazi ndi zitsanzo za 3D. Malinga ndi opanga ena a PCB, pafupifupi 15% yamaoda amabwera ndi schematics yokonzedwa mu KiCad.
Zosintha pakutulutsa kwatsopano zikuphatikiza:
- Mawonekedwe ogwiritsira ntchito akonzedwanso ndikubweretsedwa ku mawonekedwe amakono. Mawonekedwe a zigawo zosiyanasiyana za KiCad alumikizidwa. Mwachitsanzo, okonza schematic and printed circuit board (PCB) sakuwonekanso ngati ntchito zosiyanasiyana ndipo ali pafupi wina ndi mzake pamlingo wa mapangidwe, ma hotkeys, masanjidwe a bokosi la dialog ndi njira yosinthira. Ntchito yachitidwanso kuti achepetse mawonekedwe a ogwiritsa ntchito atsopano ndi mainjiniya omwe amagwiritsa ntchito njira zosiyanasiyana zopangira ntchito zawo.
- Mkonzi wa schematic wakonzedwanso, tsopano akugwiritsa ntchito kusankha kwa chinthu chomwecho ndi ma paradigms achinyengo monga mkonzi wa PCB. Zatsopano zawonjezedwa, monga kugawa makalasi ozungulira magetsi molunjika kuchokera ku schematic editor. Ndizotheka kugwiritsa ntchito malamulo osankha mtundu ndi kalembedwe ka ma conductor ndi mabasi, payekhapayekha komanso potengera mtundu wa dera. Mapangidwe a hierarchical asinthidwa, mwachitsanzo, ndizotheka kupanga mabasi omwe amaphatikiza ma siginali angapo okhala ndi mayina osiyanasiyana.
- Mawonekedwe a PCB mkonzi asinthidwa. Zatsopano zakhazikitsidwa zomwe cholinga chake ndi kufewetsa navigation kudzera muzithunzi zovuta. Thandizo lowonjezera pakusunga ndi kubwezeretsa zosewerera zomwe zimatsimikizira dongosolo la zinthu pazenera. N'zotheka kubisa maunyolo ena kuchokera kumalumikizidwe. Adawonjezera kuthekera kodzilamulira pawokha kuwonekera kwa madera, mapepala, vias, ndi mayendedwe. Amapereka zida zogawira mitundu ku maukonde enaake ndi makalasi ochezera, komanso kugwiritsa ntchito mitunduyo kumalumikizidwe kapena zigawo zogwirizana ndi maukondewo. Pakona yakumanja yakumanja pali gulu latsopano la Selection Filter lomwe limakupatsani mwayi wowongolera mitundu ya zinthu zomwe zingasankhidwe.
Thandizo lowonjezera pazotsatira zozungulira, madera amkuwa oswedwa, ndikuchotsa ma vias osalumikizidwa. Zida zotsogola zoyika nyimbo, kuphatikiza rauta yokankhira & shove ndi mawonekedwe osinthira kutalika kwa nyimbo.
- Mawonekedwe owonera mtundu wa 3D wa bolodi yopangidwa awongoleredwa, zomwe zimaphatikizapo kufufuza kwa ray kuti mukwaniritse kuyatsa kwenikweni. Anawonjezera kuthekera kowunikira zinthu zosankhidwa mu PCB mkonzi. Kufikira kosavuta kwa maulamuliro omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito pafupipafupi.
- Dongosolo latsopano laperekedwa kuti lifotokoze malamulo apadera opangira, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zitheke kufotokozera malamulo ovuta kupanga, kuphatikizapo omwe amalola kuyika zoletsa zokhudzana ndi zigawo zina kapena malo oletsedwa.
- Mawonekedwe atsopano aperekedwa kwa mafayilo okhala ndi malaibulale azizindikiro ndi zida zamagetsi, kutengera mawonekedwe omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito kale pama board ndi mapazi (zoponda). Mtundu watsopanowu udapangitsa kuti zitheke kugwiritsa ntchito zinthu monga zizindikiro zophatikizira zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pozungulira molunjika mufayilo ndi dera, popanda kugwiritsa ntchito malaibulale apakatikati.
- Mawonekedwe a kayesedwe kawo akongoletsedwa ndipo kuthekera kwa spice simulator kwakulitsidwa. Wowonjezera E-Series resistor calculator. Wowoneka bwino wa GerbView.
- Thandizo lowonjezera pakulowetsa mafayilo kuchokera ku CADSTAR ndi ma phukusi a Altium Designer. Kulowetsedwa bwino mumtundu wa EAGLE. Thandizo labwino la mitundu ya Gerber, STEP ndi DXF.
- N'zotheka kusankha chiwembu chamtundu posindikiza.
- Ntchito zophatikizika zopanga zosunga zobwezeretsera zokha.
- Anawonjezera "Plugin ndi Content Manager".
- Njira yoyika "mbali ndi mbali" yakhazikitsidwa pamwambo wina wa pulogalamuyo yokhala ndi zosintha zodziyimira pawokha.
- Zokonda pa mbewa ndi touchpad.
- Kwa Linux ndi macOS, kuthekera koyambitsa mutu wakuda wawonjezedwa.
