So I wanted to share my thoughts on the Wampler KiCad course. It is awful!! It is such a hot mess I stopped halfway through and requested a refund. That is not something I have ever done. I know how to use KiCad pretty well but like most if not all of us I am self taught. I was hoping to find some pointers and things I might have overlooked. Things that may help me with layouts etc.. This is not it. Let me say if I I didn’t know how to use it already this not only would have confused me more but probably turned me off on it all together. It’s not Wampler doing it like his other building course (great by the way). It seems like it was done all in one shot with no editing. It assumes a lot from the get go. Things like you know how to install libraries etc…. He goes through stuff really fast and offers little to no explanation on anything. His placement walk through was literally just place stuff close together. I wanted to like it but maybe I just built it up because of the other course. Your money and time are certainly better spent elsewhere. Maybe with a lot of updates in the future it will be ready for release but this just feels like a money grab.
