Core concepts

Layout

The physical drawing. Where each part sits on the board, how copper traces run between them.

How it looks

Real image: CORE3588, rendered by KiCad from our board file
123451 mm
The same READY light circuit as on the schematic card, as it really sits on CORE3588: five parts in a 9 x 10 mm corner, joined by copper.

How it works

Where it fits

Layout comes after the schematic: first placement, then routing (what Ants does). It is checked by DRC and exported as Gerbers.
