KiCad

A professional-grade open-source electronics design automation suite running in your browser. KiCad provides schematic capture, PCB layout, SPICE simulation, and Gerber output — all accessible via KasmVNC.

What You Can Do After Deployment

1. Visit your domain — the KiCad desktop opens in your browser via KasmVNC
2. Log in — use the password you set during template deployment
3. Create or open projects — start a new electronics project or open existing .kicad_pro files
4. Design schematics — draw circuit schematics with the schematic editor
5. Layout PCBs — place components and route traces in the PCB editor
6. Generate outputs — export Gerber files, BOMs, and 3D models for manufacturing

Key Features

• Schematic editor with hierarchical design support
• Interactive PCB layout with push-and-shove routing
• Integrated SPICE circuit simulator
• 3D board viewer with STEP model export
• Extensive component libraries (symbols, footprints, 3D models)
• Design rule check (DRC) and electrical rules check (ERC)
• Gerber, drill file, and BOM generation
• Browser-accessible desktop via KasmVNC

Persistent Data

All project files and settings are stored in /config (backed by a Zeabur volume).
