Hi All,
This is my first post, so I thought I’d share how I got started with KiCad and stripboard layouts:
First, I drew the outline of my board on Edge.Cuts and placed some mounting holes. I set my grid to 2.54mm and used back copper to model horizontal tracks on the stripboard. Front copper for jumpers - vias to connect them. Edge cut markers show me where I need to cut stripboard tracks. Most components are mounted on end, but some are layed horizontally to jump over tracks when needed.
And - then you can print out both sides (get the mirroring right), tape em together and hold it up to the light to help figure things out.
This is what my end result ended up looking like - an Analog saw core VCO with waveshaping for Tri, PWM-able pulse and sine:
Cheers,
Jared
