Moros

Moros Arduino Micro Shield

This is the KiCad project for the Arduino Micro shield used to build the Moros chess clock. This shield makes it much easier to attach the OLED screens and buttons to the Arduino in a compact format suitable for shoving inside the Moros case.

To use this project you need the latest version of KiCad, or a version built from head after December 28th, 2014. In Ubuntu it is easiest to add the KiCad PPA and install KiCad from there. You'll need to set the KIGITHUB environment variable:

export KIGITHUB='https://github.com/kicad'

Otherwise KiCad won't find its component libraries.

Three other component libraries are required for this project, from two different repositories:

• ab2_header and ab2_idc from AB2's KiCad Library set
• arduino_micro_shield from Adam Fletcher's Arduino Micro Shield Component & Footprint

Both are included in this source tree for convenience.

Opening the moros.pro file in KiCad will load all needed files. From there the schematic can be edited, a netlist generated, and a PCB laid out. The PCB in this repo is suitable for export to Gerber format files. In order to send those Gerber format files to the preferred fab, OSH Park, the Gerber files output by KiCad must be renamed:

cd gerber
bash rename_and_zip.sh

The resulting .zip file can be uploaded to OSH Park for fabrication.
