I designed a straightforward breakout board for the MSP430, perfect for teaching KiCAD to students and coworkers. The board is simple enough to be assembled under ideal conditions in less than an hour, though doing it properly usually takes about two hours. However, due to silkscreen constraints, we have to stick to a one-hour assembly time. Click here: https://hobbylobbyhours.us/
I've been teaching myself KiCad lately, mostly using YouTube videos. How does your tutorial work?
Consider me interested as well. I get as far as routing when working on my own, things never seem to go how I want after that.
It's meant to be an interactive workshop where everyone makes this board. I go through all the basic steps of creating a schematic, generating a netlist, and putting together a board file live, but what I found was that if I do it in an hour most people get very far behind, so I'm still refining it (should probably be more like 2-3hrs so everyone can follow along). It looks like I'll be presenting this again in the next few months for a club I was in at RIT, hoping to get a recording of it next time.
