Electronics Boards

This is the electronics-boards repository, containing all the electronic boards developed for study and DIY purposes.

Each board has an own folder where there are schematic, layout, firmware, simulations, documents, photos, configuration files, etc.

The board folders follow these rules:

  • foldername name of the board
  • admitted subfolders:
    • docs folder contains documents
      • datasheet folder contains useful datasheet
      • manuals folder contains reference manual
    • output folder contains files for the production of the PCB and board (Gerber files, BOM, PCB Notes, etc.)
    • kicad folder contains the KiCad project
    • pics folder contains useful photos and videos of pcb, board, setup
    • sw folder contains the firmware useful for the board (test, normal operation, etc)

Note: folders and files must be named in lowercase

Git LFS remark

This repository exploits the Git Large File Support (LFS) to handle the binary files. To download the binary files, follow the GitHub instructions. To configure Git LFS, follow these instructions.

Questions

How big is the Unicorn PCB?

It measures 35 × 75 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Unicorn use?

26 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-PU and L7805. 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 Unicorn KiCad files?

From the sgiraz/electronics-boards repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is unicorn/kicad/unicorn.kicad_pcb and its schematic unicorn/kicad/unicorn.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Unicorn design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-3-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
