Hi Chris, thanks for the nice videos. A few questions regarding this topics: 1. What order of layer usage do you recommend? Signal, GND, PWR, Signal? 2. Do you recommend using ground pours on the empty spaces of the signal layers? 3. If you use a GND and PWR layer on top of each other, doesn’t this effectively create a huge a capacitor? (And would this be a bad thing?) Thanks! I appreciate everything I learn from you!
Many thanks Chris - A great explanation :-)

Hello! These are great questions for the CE Forum where we can answer them more in depth: forum.contextualelectronics.com
I cant go from 2 to 4 layers. I have the newest version of Kicad and cant find it
have you find its solution?
I am facing the same problem.
i am using Kicad 5.1.5
@@FuxionTech nope didnt find the solution. Searched the whole internet
@contextual Electronics ???
@@FuxionTech Go to the 'Design rules' drop down.
I'm using KiCad 5.1.2 and found mine in Files--Board Setup--Layers where copper layer number is a drop down option. I hope this helps!
How we can panliezed the different PCB's Using KiCAD?
Hallo, i can not see the power layer, but I see the ground layer. how I can solve this problem?
Is good idea use 4 layer (l1- high speed signal, l2 gnd, l3 gnd, l4- - high speed signal)?
i need to know one thing if i can add a gnd layer in existing kicad pcb
Hi,
can you explain how to calculate track width and via drill size
if my track width is 1.3mm and how to calculate via drill size
The setup menu seems missing in macOS version. kiCad v5.1.2

I found the menu under 'design rules'.
