The first group of PCB outlines (pumpkin, ghost, and cat) are provided so that folks can try the process of importing a board outline into KiCAD. Additional graphic features may be easily added by placing additional .dxf format graphics files on the appropriate PCB layer. For example, to emphasize the eyes of the ghost one may wish to import the file ghost_eyes.dxf onto the F.Silk layer when the board is open in Pcbnew. The color of soldermask and silkscreen may be selected when the boards files are sent to the fabrication vendor.

You can open the .dxf files in graphics programs such as Inkscape to add features. Just add the features you want, save the file, delete the original objects and save the additional features as a new .dxf file. This is how ghost_eyes.dxf was generated. Then to add the features to the PCB, simply execute a second import step onto the appropriate layer and viola!

Questions

How big is the Cat pcb 2 PCB?

It measures 43.5 × 64 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Cat pcb 2 use?

6 parts, built around the BH-125A-1. 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 Cat pcb 2 KiCad files?

From the lab64makerspace/Halloween_PCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cats/cat_pcb_2/cat_pcb_2.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Cat pcb 2 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask lab64makerspace before reusing the design.
