 ====== KiCad notes ======
 {{:kicad:kicad-appicon-128.png?nolink|}}
+[[http://www.kicad-pcb.org|KiCad]] is a popular open source printed circuit board layout program. It runs on all three major desktop OS's (Windows, OS X, and Linux) and is my PCB design tool of choice. It was originally written by Jean-Pierre Charras at //Université Joseph Fourier// and is now actively developed by an enthusiastic [[https://launchpad.net/kicad|team of developers]].
+Like all PC layout programs, KiCad has a steep learning curve. Here are some notes that might help.
