A printed circuit board (PCB) project developed in KiCad.
Project Overview
A cat-themed PCB designed for the Hack Club Solder workshop. The board features LEDs, resistors, push buttons, a battery holder, a potentiometer, a capacitor, and a motor/pinheader connector — a hands-on beginner-friendly circuit for learning PCB design and soldering.
Circuit Components
- 2x LED — Visual indicators
- 2x Push Switch — User input / interaction
- 2x Resistor — Current limiting
- 1x Potentiometer — Adjustable resistance / brightness control
- 1x Capacitor (10uF) — Filtering / energy storage
- 1x Motor/PinHeader — Motor driver interface
- 1x Battery Cell — Power supply

Questions
How big is the Gato pcb PCB?
It measures 63.9 × 62.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Gato pcb use?
11 parts. 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 Gato pcb KiCad files?
From the Developer-Vini/fixed_cat-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/kicad/gato-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/kicad/gato-pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Gato pcb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Developer-Vini before reusing the design.
