PCB designs

A monorepository of my PCB designs created with KiCAD 8.

Layout and Workflow

Custom symbols and footprints are located in libraries, which is shared between PCB projects using ${KIPRJMOD}.

Individual PCB projects (e.g. *.kicad_pro and friends) are located within within pcb for active projects, or pcb-archived for archived projects.

When a PCB is ordered from a project, fabrication outputs are created and in the project's fab subdirectory and committed to the repository.

Setup

Ensure pipx is installed:

pip install pipx

Install scons:

pipx install scons

Install KiCAD-related dependencies using the system site packages directory:

pipx install --system-site-packages kikit interactivehtmlbom

Build

To render all outputs, simply run scons.

To render outputs for a particular board, run scons -u within that board's project subdirectory.
