Getting Started

Prerequisites

• KiCad 8.0+

Opening the Project

1. Clone this repository
2. Open ESP32_2.kicad_pro in KiCad
3. The schematic and PCB editors will be available

Manufacturing

PCB Fabrication

Gerber files can be generated from the PCB editor:

1. Open ESP32_2.kicad_pcb
2. File → Fabrication Outputs → Gerbers (.gbr)
3. Use the default settings for most fabs

Bill of Materials (BOM)

Generate BOM from the schematic editor:

1. Open ESP32_2.kicad_sch
2. Tools → Generate Bill of Materials

Custom Libraries

This project uses custom libraries located in:

• LIB/ - Schematic symbols
• Footprint/ - PCB footprints

These are referenced in the project configuration and should be available when opening the project.

License

This project is open source. Feel free to use, modify, and distribute.
