About the Alinx carrier PCB

Alinx carrier is an open source PCB design by hdlguy, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 80 × 85 mm, with 9 components from 6 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the KSZ9031RNXCA and STUSB4500QTR. By type, the board carries 7 connectors and 2 ICs.

Miscellaneous KiCad work

This is a repo to contain some simple attempts to use Kicad 6 to design printed circuit boards.

I like to make it so that design files are usable by just cloning them from GitHub but that is not completely possible with KiCad because libraries are external to the design folders and KiCad relies on user level pathname to access libraries.

The official KiCad libraries are cloned from these url:
