From the project
Starting template for creating a new QBoard in Kicad
Breakout board for SOIC/SSOP packages up to 16 pins. Uses extra long and wide pads so a lot of different packages should fit
QBoard is a project to create a collection of small tools that facilitate Electronic Engineering, using readily available parts. For PCBs we aim to create well designed boards that can be purchased by low cost vendors such as Seeed Studio, OSHPark or DirtyPCBs.
