Teaching myself KiCad, schematic generation, footprints and PCB layout by designing a board for Peter Parker's Beach40 transceiver. More info on the design at http://vk3ye.com/

To get this up and running, you'll need to do a

text
git submodule init
git submodule update

to pull in the relevant FreeTronics KiCad libraries.

My_LBS

My version of Pete Juliano's (N6QW) "Let's Build Something" SSB transceiver. Design details at http://jessystems.com/LBS_Detail.html

The only differnce so far is the audio output stages. I had an LM386 on hand, and used that instead, with a 2n3904 audio pre-amp.

Questions

How big is the Beach40 kicad PCB?

It measures 200 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Beach40 kicad use?

81 parts, built around the LM386, BC548 and BD139. 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 Beach40 kicad KiCad files?

From the digideskio/electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Beach40_kicad/beach40_kicad.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Beach40 kicad design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask digideskio before reusing the design.
