TL;DR

My personal KiCAD library.

How to use

Git Submodule (Preferred)

I was inspired by a video I saw by Sayanee Basu about using git submodules as a way to use my library without globalizing it on each machine I use.

It also has the added benefit of freezing the library in time so if any adjustments are made you know your project will still be fine.

see the video here: KiCAD Submodule Library

Copying into your project

Copy the library to your and link everything. I'll do a more formal writeup at some point...

Making New Parts and Footprints

All symbols and footprints are my own work for now. About 50% of the 3D models are mine and the rest have been sourced from around the web.

While the majority of the parts in here do have a similar feel there are slight variations as I've been learning to use the tools as well as deciding what really works well AND looks pleasing. I am currently working on a style guide loosley based off of KiCADs own library standard. It can be found here.

Questions

How big is the BoxLib PCB?

It measures 92 × 28 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BoxLib use?

18 parts, built around the 0154.500DRT. 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 BoxLib KiCad files?

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

Can I use the BoxLib design in my own project?

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