I did the teholabs Kicad tutorial, up to the point where they export the Gerber files, which I'll try once I have a real PCB to export. One snag I ran into was that freerouting apparently needs to be downloaded separately now; I used this fork on github: https://github.com/mirage335/FreeRouting. The prebuilt jar file didn't work for me (with an error about an unsupported Java classfile version) and I had to change the build script slightly so it would find the javahelp library on my Ubuntu installation before I managed to build it.

Afterwards I started working on my schematic, basically copying from essentialscrap's and sprite's schematics. More on that next time.
