KiCAD Part Library for STS1

This repo should be included as a submodule in the respective KiCAD projects and included in KiCAD using relative paths. See the example fp-lib-table and sym-lib-table in the example directory of this repo for how to do this.

All libs in here should adhere to the KiCAD Library Conventions as closely as possible to make it possible to upstream the parts in the future.

Instructions for setting up a new project with these libs

• Create a new directory and initialize it as a git repo (mkdir test && cd test && git init)
• Create your kicad-project inside this empty folder (in KiCAD File -> New Project and call it for example test-kicad)
• Add this repo as submodule to the root of your new git repo (git submodule add git@github.com:SpaceTeam/STS1_PCB_LIBRARIES.git libs)

The directory structure should now look like this:

• test
  • test-kicad
    • test-kicad.kicad_pro
    • test-kicad.kicad_pcb
    • test-kicad.kicad_sch
  • libs
    • The contents of this repo

Now close KiCAD and copy the files fp-lib-table and sym-lib-table from the libs/example folder into the kicad project directory (the folder test-kicad in this case).

To make integration between KiCAD and git a bit nicer, copy the files .gitignore and .gitattributes into the root of your git repo (in this case the test directory) and run git config --global filter.kicad_project.clean "sed -E 's/^update=.*$/update=Date/'" and git config --global filter.kicad_project.smudge cat (this only needs to be run once on every PC).

Notes

• The MCP1725 is pin- and function-compatible to the MCP1727 which exists in the official KiCAD libs. Just use the MCP1727 symbol and rename it.
