Introduction to a KiCad demo project

Posted on March 27, 2026 by Peter Dalmaris

If you’d like to see Kicad in action without creating a brand-new PCB from scratch, you can “play” with one of many KiCad example projects. These projects are part of the KiCad installation, but you can also get them separately from KiCad’s demos folder on the Github repository. I will give you a tour of KiCad using one of these demo projects in this article. If you want to follow along, install the latest version of KiCad from here. When you are ready, come back here to continue with the tour.
