During October 2024, Alex Talansk built an LED demonstration circuit as a KiCad project in the formulaslug/fs-3-intro-projects repository. The work included schematic capture, PCB layout, and custom footprints for an LED, resistor, and battery holder, all connected in a basic circuit to establish a clear hardware baseline. Alex applied skills in electronics engineering and PCB design, using KiCad as the primary tool. The project introduced a reusable template for rapid prototyping and streamlined onboarding for new contributors. While the scope was focused and no bugs were reported, the deliverable provided a solid foundation for future introductory hardware projects.
