Setup

KiCad

1. Ensure this template folder is in your KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR path.
2. Create new project from template.
3. Select the 1590B - Mono I/O, no battery template from the User Templates tab.
4. Decide on a name and path for the new project.

Git

The following clean and smudge commands are used on project files, to ignore the "date modified" field in them.

git config --local filter.kicad_project.clean "sed -E 's/^update=.*$/update=Date/'"
git config --local filter.kicad_project.smudge cat

The next clean and smudge commands are used to ignore hidden flags in schematics.

git config --local filter.kicad_sch.clean "sed -E 's/#(PWR|FLG)[0-9]+/#\1?/'"
git config --local filter.kicad_sch.smudge cat

Add these commands to the local or global git config to allow the filters in .gitconfig to work properly.

Finally, clean up the README.md and files that weren't automatically renamed by KiCad, such as the graphics/plots.

Schematic

Use the Send net label for effect input, and Return for effect output.
