Stratum 0 KiCad Library ======================= How to use ---------- * Start your KiCad project as always. * Add this library as a submodule to your project git. The submodule is intended to be in the same directory as the *.kicad_pro* -file. * Add the schematic and PCB libraries as project/local libs to your project. * Since this project is a submodule changes in the library will not result in changes to your project until you update the submodule. How to contribute ----------------- * Just create a MR for this repo. * There will be a short review for consistency, but we will not check the actual design. Design rules ------------ * Please follow the https://klc.kicad.org/ when creating new symbols / footprints. (But we will not be so picky if you don't.) * Every symbol must have a fooprint associated. (Some exceptions may be possible.) * Every specific (non-standard) part (IC, some connectors) must have the following fields: * "Manufacturer" * "MPN" (Manufacturer Part Number) * Every part can contain the following fields: * Distributors (Containing Distributor names and their part numbers) * Every specific part must have a datasheet link. Datasheets can either be a link to the manufacturers website. Or better: Datasheets can be placed in the *datasheets/* -directory and linked using a relative path. * Footprints shold have a 3D-model.

This also allows us to cross-use part of the KiCad Library here.
