After my first attempts to create something nice looking in KiCad using Inkscape I was able to actually build a couple of little projects to get along with the program and train ~~to use~~ it.

Here you can see a circuit which includes a blinking LED. The first try was a round shaped PCB. Later I updated it, chose smaller components, put them on a ~~rectangle~~ plate and added some script. The function is still the same.

To get in the Christmas mood I created two more batches. The first one is a gingerbread man which can be used as a pin (the dot on ~~his~~ back marks where the pin shall be added later) and the other one a Christmas ball (also with a ~~keychain~~ to hang it on the tree).

'''About the circuit:'''

*Components: resistors, capacitors, transistors, LEDs, switch, battery and microphone

*The length of the LED flash depends on the capacity of the capacitor (e.g. 2.2 mF ≈ 1 s). The higher the capacity, the longer the LED blinks.

*The length of the LED flash depends on the capacity of the capacitor (e.g. 2.2 μF ≈ 1 s). The higher the capacity, the longer the LED blinks.

*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXORaeun8vA Tutorial] and [https://circuitdigest.com/sites/default/files/circuitdiagram/simple-led-music-light-circuit-diagram.png example circuit]

*Depending on the amount of LEDs you want you can expand the circuit.
