Eminyakeni emithathu nengxenye kusukela ekukhululweni okubalulekile kokugcina, ukukhululwa komklamo wamahhala osizwa ngekhompiyutha wamabhodi esekethe aphrintiwe i-KiCad 6.0.0 ishicilelwe. Lokhu ukukhishwa kokuqala okubalulekile okwakhiwa ngemuva kokuthi iphrojekthi ibe ngaphansi kwephiko le-Linux Foundation. Izakhiwo zilungiselelwe ukusatshalaliswa okuhlukahlukene kweLinux, Windows neMacOS. Ikhodi ibhalwe ku-C++ kusetshenziswa umtapo wezincwadi we-wxWidgets futhi ilayisensi ngaphansi kwelayisensi ye-GPLv3.
I-KiCad inikeza amathuluzi okuhlela imidwebo kagesi namabhodi esifunda aphrintiwe, ukubonwa kwebhodi nge-3D, ukusebenza nomtapo wezincwadi wezakhi zesekethe kagesi, ukuphatha izifanekiso ze-Gerber, ukulingisa ukusebenza kwamasekethe kagesi, ukuhlela amabhodi esekethe aphrintiwe kanye nokuphathwa kwephrojekthi. Le phrojekthi futhi ihlinzeka ngemitapo yolwazi yezingxenye ze-elekthronikhi, imilobo yezinyawo namamodeli e-3D. Ngokusho kwabanye abakhiqizi be-PCB, cishe u-15% wama-oda eza nezinhlelo ezilungiselelwe ku-KiCad.
Phakathi kwezinguquko ekukhishweni okusha:
- I-interface yomsebenzisi iklanywe kabusha futhi yalethwa ekubukekeni kwesimanjemanje. Ukuxhumana kwezingxenye ezihlukahlukene ze-KiCad kuhlanganisiwe. Isibonelo, abahleli bebhodi lesifunda esineskimu nesiphrintiwe (PCB) abasabonakali njengezinhlelo zokusebenza ezihlukene futhi basondelene kakhulu ezingeni lokuklama, okhiye abashisayo, ukwakheka kwebhokisi lengxoxo kanye nenqubo yokuhlela. Kuphinde kwenziwa umsebenzi wokwenza kube lula ukusebenzisana kubasebenzisi abasha nonjiniyela abasebenzisa amasistimu okuklama ahlukene emisebenzini yabo.
- Isihleli sohlelo siklanywe kabusha, manje kusetshenziswa ukukhethwa kwento efanayo kanye namapharadigm okukhohlisa njengesihleli sesakhiwo se-PCB. Izici ezintsha zengeziwe, njengokwabela amakilasi esekethe kagesi ngokuqondile kumhleli wohlelo. Kungenzeka ukusebenzisa imithetho yokukhetha umbala kanye nesitayela somugqa kubaqhubi namabhasi, kokubili ngabanye futhi ngokusekelwe kuhlobo lwesifunda. Idizayini ye-Hierarchical yenziwe lula, isibonelo, kungenzeka ukudala amabhasi aqoqela ndawonye amasignali amaningana anamagama ahlukene.
- Isixhumi esibonakalayo somhleli we-PCB sibuyekeziwe. Izici ezintsha zenziwe ezihloselwe ukwenza lula ukuzulazula ngemidwebo eyinkimbinkimbi. Ukwesekwa okwengeziwe kokulondoloza nokubuyisela okusethiwe ngaphambili okunquma ukuhlelwa kwezinto esikrinini. Kungenzeka ukufihla amaketanga athile ekuxhumekeni. Kwengezwe amandla okulawula ngokuzimele ukubonakala kwezindawo, amaphedi, ama-vias, namathrekhi. Ihlinzeka ngamathuluzi okunikeza imibala kumanethi athile namakilasi aphelele, nokusebenzisa leyo mibala kuzixhumanisi noma izendlalelo ezihlobene nalawo manethi. Ekhoneni elingezansi kwesokudla kunephaneli entsha Yesihlungi Sokukhetha ekuvumela ukuthi ulawule ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo zezinto ezingakhethwa.
Ukwesekwa okwengeziwe kokulandelelwa okuyindilinga, izindawo zethusi ezichanyuselwe, nokususwa kwama-via angaxhumekile. Amathuluzi okubeka ithrekhi athuthukisiwe, afaka irutha yokusunduza & shove kanye nesixhumi esibonakalayo sokulungisa ubude bethrekhi.
- Isixhumi esibonakalayo sokubuka imodeli ye-3D yebhodi eliklanyiwe sithuthukisiwe, okuhlanganisa ukulandelela ama-ray ukuze kuzuzwe ukukhanya kwangempela. Kwengezwe ikhono lokugqamisa izinto ezikhethiwe kusihleli se-PCB. Ukufinyelela okulula kuzilawuli ezisetshenziswa njalo.
- Kuphakanyiswe uhlelo olusha lokucacisa imithetho ekhethekile yokuklama, okwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuchaza imithetho eyinkimbinkimbi yokuklama, kuhlanganise naleyo evumela ukubeka imingcele ngokuphathelene nezingqimba ezithile noma izindawo ezivinjelwe.
- Ifomethi entsha yamafayela anemitapo yolwazi yezimpawu nezingxenye ze-elekthronikhi iyahlongozwa, ngokusekelwe kufomethi eyayisetshenziswa ngaphambilini kumabhodi nezinyathelo zezinyawo (izinyawo). Ifomethi entsha yenze kwaba nokwenzeka ukusebenzisa izici ezifana nezimpawu zokushumeka ezisetshenziswa kusekethe ngqo efayelini elinesekhethi, ngaphandle kokusebenzisa imitapo yolwazi ephakathi nendawo.
- Isixhumi esibonakalayo sokulingisa sithuthukisiwe futhi amandla esilingisi sezinongo anwetshiwe. Kwengezwe i-E-Series resistor calculator. Isibukeli se-GerbView esithuthukisiwe.
- Ukwesekwa okwengeziwe kokungenisa amafayela kusuka kumaphakheji we-CADSTAR kanye ne-Altium Designer. Ukungenisa okuthuthukisiwe ngefomethi ye-EAGLE. Ukusekelwa okuthuthukisiwe kwamafomethi e-Gerber, STEP kanye ne-DXF.
- Kungenzeka ukukhetha uhlelo lombala lapho uphrinta.
- Ukusebenza okuhlanganisiwe kokudala ikhophi yasenqolobaneni.
- Kwengezwe "I-Plugin kanye Nomphathi Wokuqukethwe".
- Imodi yokufaka "eceleni necele" isetshenziswe kwesinye isenzakalo sohlelo ngezilungiselelo ezizimele.
- Izilungiselelo ezithuthukisiwe zegundane nephedi yokuthinta.
- Ku-Linux ne-macOS, amandla okunika amandla itimu emnyama angeziwe.
