Installation

To install everything, just type:

sh
$ ./install-all.sh

This script makes symlinks from the cloned kicad-mlab repository to ~/.local/share/kicad/8.0/ (or the corresponding KiCAD version folder) for templates, footprints, symbols, and plugins. Then, the symbol and footprint libraries need to be manually added and opened in KiCAD as a folder.

Questions

How big is the Mlab default PCB?

It measures 40.1 × 40.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mlab default use?

8 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 Mlab default KiCad files?

From the MLAB-project/kicad-mlab repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is template/mlab-default/mlab-default.kicad_pcb and its schematic template/mlab-default/mlab-default.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mlab default design in my own project?

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