About the Test4 PCB

Test4 is an open source PCB design by hdlguy, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 25.9 × 21.3 mm, with 17 components from 3 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 8 diodes, 8 resistors and 1 connector.

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:

Test4: common questions

How big is the Test4 PCB?

The Test4 measures 25.9 × 21.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Test4?

17 components, from 3 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Test4 design files?

From the hdlguy/kicad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Test4 design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which hdlguy chose for the repository.
