TestCircuit
About the TestCircuit PCB
TestCircuit is an open source PCB design by martinbros, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 51.8 × 46.7 mm, with 18 components from 8 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the ICM7555xP. By type, the board carries 9 resistors, 5 diodes, 1 IC, 1 transistor, 1 connector and 1 capacitor.
From the project
Bash Scripts to generate Kicad files for manufacture, easy viewing, and Git diff
- is accessible via PATH - is accessible via PATH - edit file "pre-commit" so that it points appropriately for your system - Copy the "pre-commit" file to a Git's Repo hook directory
1. generateDeliverables.sh executes createSchematicArrays.sh - createSchematicArrays.sh creates global array variables that will be used by generateDeliverables.sh to create PDFs, SVGs, BOMs etc.
