TODO

  • Try KiCad jobset to replace generate-renders-for-readme.sh
  • Use official KiKit docker image once it supports KiCad 9
  • Find a proper 3D model for switch

Questions

What parts does the Beeping easter egg use?

17 parts, built around the AO3401A, BS-04-A1BJ004 and TMB12A03. 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 Beeping easter egg KiCad files?

From the DougTomanio/beeping-easter-egg repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is beeping-easter-egg.kicad_pcb and its schematic beeping-easter-egg.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Beeping easter egg design in my own project?

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