Ohhh No!!! I missed it! Nice to see you again;-) Very interesting. Used Eagle (old version) and Fritzing in the past but will give KiCad definitely a try;-). A lot of people will laugh at Fritzing....but I had done some nice PCB-Layouts with it. Its very easy to use and for simple PCB-Layouts good enough. Hope I can join the next live stream again! Keep on the great work!
For PCBs with a few LEDs almost any program will work. Eagle, KiCad, Target, EasyEDA, Fritzing or anything else. Does not really matter as long as you are used to the software. KiCad is pretty good in my opinion though and you can do almost anything with it.
@@jabdoa Thanks to the video I successfully created the pcb ( it just arrived 🙂). I only was wondering about the price. It was quite expensive to let jlcpcb put the electronics on the board and it's just a couple of resistors. Maybe they have kind of "high" base price and with more expensive electronics like rgb leds the price would be ok. I'll see when I create a pcb boards with rgb leds.
@@stefku76 How many did you have them populate? They got minimum qty for most parts (10-100 depending on the part) and you got some handling fee. It becomes quite a bit cheaper when you produce more parts.
@@jabdoa yes that could be the problem. I ordered 5 PCBs and each has four different resistors, two piece each. Not that much. Actually I redesigned the PCB to solder myself. But I don't complain, because the produced PCB is much prettier than that ones I produce... :D

Thanks for the video! Based on this I just made sort of adapter for optos.
Awesome! Please let me know how that worked out :-).
