Overview

Fresh test project is an open-source printed circuit board by MitjaNemec, from the MitjaNemec/Archive3DModels repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 50.8 × 25.4 mm with 9 parts on 9 nets.

It is built around the TL081. Its parts include 4 connectors, 2 capacitors, 2 resistors and 1 IC.

KiCad Archive 3D models plugin

This plugin copies footprint 3D models to the project local subfolder (default name: packages3D). The plugin also updates the links to the models within the layout (.kicad_pcb) file so that they point to the archived 3D models with a path relative to the project folder.

If the footprint is updated, the 3Dmodel path is also updated. Thus the plugin should be re-run.

Questions

How big is the Fresh test project PCB?

It measures 50.8 × 25.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fresh test project use?

9 parts, built around the TL081. 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 Fresh test project KiCad files?

From the MitjaNemec/Archive3DModels repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Fresh_test_project/Fresh_test_project.kicad_pcb and its schematic Fresh_test_project/Fresh_test_project.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Fresh test project design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
