A4 led matrix layout Speedrun with KiCad

In a recent live stream, popular Youtuber BigClive discussed using different PCB layout packages -- in particular KiCad -- but had concerns that these tools would be overly constraining. His normal method of creating PCB artwork is to just lat down pads and tracks without creating a schematic first.

In this video, I replicate his A4-size LED matrix panel using KiCad's "Create Array" feature. The whole board layout can be done in under 10 minutes from start to finish.
