How to Create a Schematic and Symbol Library in KiCad | Sierra Circuits

In this KiCad tutorial, we will explain how we can open the schematic tool and create a symbol for components to be used in the schematic.

If you just downloaded KiCad, you might have to install some libraries, like schematic and symbol libraries. Today, we are going to show you how to proceed. 

First, let’s open KiCad on your computer.

In order to create a new project, go to File on the left-hand side, click New and select Project.

You can select the respective location where you want to save this new file and name it. For this demonstration, we will call it New Design. You can now click Save.

Once your new project is created, it opens automatically and you can see two files. One is the board file and the other one is the schematic file, which we created already.
