From the project

Monorepo for all schematics and PCB designs

We design our PCBs in KiCad (version 8+).

Files that should be in this repo, under version control: - Project files (.kicadpro). - Schematic files (.kicadsch). - PCB files (.kicadpcb). - Custom footprints (.kicadmod). - Custom symbols (.kicadsym). - Footprint library tables (fp-lib-table). - Symbol library tables (sym-lib-table). - 3D models of components (.step files). - Simulation code (e.g. .asc` files from LTSpice).
