CPLD Breakout, KiCad and a little inspiration

Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

CPLD breakout board design in KiCad is based on design by Ian Lesnet of Dangerous Prototypes. This board was designed in KiCad in 3-4 hours. It is the first board we ever designed completely in KiCad. The learning curve wasn't that steep. I'll put my KiCad experiences together in a tutorial series soon. This is what prototype board looks like.

 

For those who want to take a look at the design, it can be downloaded here. We have a few PCBs (10-15 ) to give away. Want one? send us a quick message.
