This is a set of protoboard generators. Included is a set of Python classes and functions to generate KiCAD PCB files, and two generators to create example protoboard layouts.

Examples

The first example is a 5x5 protoboard for simple circuits. It includes dedicated area for a chip (or, depending on the size, more chips) in a DIL package, some easy to use power routes and some pre-routed areas arranged in columns.

The second board has been designed for use with the STM32F4DISCOVERY development board, but can be used for other things too. Like the first board, it has connected groups as columns and some dedicated power traces. However, it also has a set of breakouts for ICs in 1.27mm SOIC and 0.65mm (T)SSOP packages, which may be useful for things like ADCs or NOR flash or port expanders. I've even built a small microcontroller board with it, using one of the STM32F030 chips in TSSOP20 package.

Questions

How big is the Proto5x5 2sidedsilk PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Proto5x5 2sidedsilk use?

5 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 Proto5x5 2sidedsilk KiCad files?

From the kfoltman/protogen repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is proto5x5_2sidedsilk.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Proto5x5 2sidedsilk design in my own project?

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