🚧 Note: This project is currently under construction. I'm in the process of adding new designs, refining existing ones, and updating documentation. Expect regular updates, and feel free to contribute or provide feedback!
Welcome to Design2PCB, a dynamic repository showcasing custom PCB designs and footprints. Our project elegantly blends detailed KiCad schematics and PCB layouts, originally designed with CAD modeling, and features unique footprints derived from Inkscape illustrations, converted for KiCad use. Dive into the seamless integration of mechanical CAD modeling and graphic design into the PCB design process, employing a powerful combination of FreeCAD, Inkscape, and KiCad.
Ensure you have the following software installed on your computer:
- KiCad (Version 8.0.0 or later)
- FreeCAD (Version 0.21.2 or later)
- Inkscape (Version 1.3.2 or later)
For installation instructions, please refer to the official websites of KiCad, FreeCAD, and Inkscape.
Navigate to the /KiCad_Projects folder to access the KiCad schematics and PCB layout files. Use KiCad to open these files for viewing, editing, or extending the designs.
Find custom footprints designed in FreeCAD in the /FreeCAD_Footprints folder, ready to be imported into KiCad for your PCB designs.
The /Inkscape_Designs folder contains the original SVG files created in Inkscape. Follow the conversion process outlined in the corresponding README to turn these designs into KiCad footprints.
