Any questions?

Because the book isn't finished yet. It's written and sold in the open, one volume at a time, so your purchase gives you web-only reading access first: drafted chapters appear on the Tech Explorations website, and new chapters and updates land there automatically as I finish them. Downloadable PDF and EPUB copies follow volume by volume, as work on each volume is completed, and they are added to your reading access when they are ready. The status page is where I record how each volume is progressing, so check there for the current picture.

Because the platform that delivers your purchased chapters is the same one Tech Explorations uses for video courses, so it uses that word. It isn't a video course, and it's not a mistake, it's simply the reading space for your copy of the book. Open it and you'll find the book's chapters, not video lessons.

Your purchase confirmation email links straight to your reading access. Inside your Tech Explorations account, look under your enrolled content, not under "orders" or "downloads", since there's nothing to download yet. Still can't find it? Contact Tech Explorations support with your order confirmation.

If you already purchased KLP4e from Tech Explorations, you're eligible for a discount. Wait for an email with your unique coupon code, then paste it manually in the discount field at checkout, it isn't applied automatically. It acts on the current price of any 5e product: the book, the video course or the bundle.

Checkout is handled by Paddle. Once your payment goes through, you'll receive an email with what you need to get into your reading access. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder first, then contact Tech Explorations support with your order confirmation.

Volumes 1 and 2 are complete and published for early adopters. Volumes 3 and 4 are planned, and both now have their full chapter lists published on the book page. The status page shows exactly where each chapter stands, honestly, with no invented percentages.

Today: Volumes 1 and 2, both complete and ready to read now. Later: Volumes 3 and 4 as I write them, chapter by chapter, plus every update and correction, free, for the life of the 5th edition.

Four volumes, each a complete skill you can finish, not a difficulty tier. See the full table of contents.

Yes. It sits on a version-tracking system that flags exactly which figures and passages a new KiCad release affects, so updates are a focused job, not a rewrite, and they reach you free.

Yes, free excerpts from drafted chapters are on the sample page.

Yes. KiCad Like a Pro 5e is sponsored by NextPCB, a PCB fabrication and assembly service. The sponsorship does not influence the book's content: I keep full editorial control over what goes into it. What NextPCB does provide is direct technical assistance about their tools and production processes, and that lets me be more detailed and more accurate about every NextPCB tool I mention.

Yes. Early adopter pricing for the book started at €20 and will end at €60 when all four volumes are complete. The video course is €40 now that Course 1 is open, and early adopter pricing for it will end at €120 when all four courses are complete. The bundle is always 20% less than the book and the course bought separately. Your price locks the moment you buy.

No. One purchase unlocks every volume as it ships, plus every update, for the life of the edition.

No. Prices are in euros and do not include tax. At checkout, Paddle, our merchant of record, converts the price to your currency, calculates any VAT, GST or sales tax your country applies, and shows it before you pay. Where Paddle's policy allows, that tax can be removed or refunded.

Checkout is handled by Paddle, our payment provider, and you're covered by Paddle's refund policy.

No. The book stands on its own, and so does the video course. If you want both, the bundle is the cheapest way to get them.

Yes. The video course is on sale now for early adopters, on its own or in a bundle with the book. One purchase gives you Course 1, Your First PCBs, now, and Courses 2, 3 and 4 as I produce them. Course 1 is recorded and editing now, and recording of Course 2 has begun. If you already own the book, your personal upgrade code arrives by email. The courses page shows what each one covers, and the pricing page shows the prices.
