Re: Single sided PCB ?

2010-05-17 by Andrew

There are two answers to this question.

1) Manually route, and just do so one the desired side of the board. I usually manually route most if not all of the traces on my boards; I'm rarely if ever satisfied with what the auto-routers come up with.

2) Tell KiCad that your board is single layer only -- in PCBnew, click on Preferences, then on General. Click on the desired number of layers (1 in this case). Click okay, and you are good to go.
