Overview
E Paper Display is an open-source printed circuit board by cheyao, from the cheyao/ckl repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence. It is a 4-layer board with 20 parts on 24 nets, routed with 149 tracks and 9 vias.
It is built around the MBR0530 and SI1308EDL. Its parts include 12 capacitors, 3 diodes, 2 resistors, 1 IC and 1 transistor. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards of this library.

An assortiment useful footprints and symbols for digital designs.
Currently contains 65 footprints and 68 symbols.
How to install
Open the KiCad "Plugin and Content Manager" (referred to as "PCM" from now on) and click on "Manage". Add a new entry with the plus sign and paste
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cheyao/cyao-kicad-repo/main/repository.jsonFrom this point on you will have "cyao KiCad repository" in your drop-down selection, and it will allow you to install (and update) ckl through PCM - easy and hassle-free.

Disclaimer
We do not assume any responsibility for broken PCBs or damages derived from errors in this library. Use at your own risk, and please open an issue or pull-request if you encounter any errors.
Please do not use any footprint from this library with a symbol from another library (or the other way round). Pin numbering conventions are not always the same, and unless you check very carefully this can lead to broken PCBs.

Questions
What parts does the E Paper Display use?
20 parts, built around the MBR0530 and SI1308EDL. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the E Paper Display KiCad files?
From the cheyao/ckl repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is design_blocks/ckl-blocks.kicad_block/E-Paper Display.kicad_block/E-Paper Display.kicad_pcb and its schematic design_blocks/ckl-blocks.kicad_block/CH32V003.kicad_block/CH32V003.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the E Paper Display design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
