Setup

The repo is set up as follows:

lily_kicad_lib/
  |- 3d_models                 # 3D models for the footprints
  |- documents                 # documentation (reports, naming conventions)
  |- lib_test                  # KiCad project for testing library symbols and footprints
  |- lily_footprints.pretty    # footprint library
  |- scripts                   # script for generating reports, checking the library
  |- symbols                   # symbols library

3D models

The 3D models are taken from three sources:

• KiCad 3D models
• Manufacturer 3D models
• Self created 3D models (design is included in the repo)

Footprints

Footprints are created using the specifications of the manufacturers. All footprints have a 3D model attached if applicable. All footprints have the following extra attributes:

• Revision: numeric value for the revision of the footprint.

Symbols

All symbols have the following extra attributes:

• Revision: numeric value for the revision of the symbol.
• Status: Active or Obsolete
• Manufacturer: manufacturer name (original, alternatives are not added)
• Manufacturer_ID: manufacturer part ID (original, alternatives are not added)
• Lily_ID: part ID for the ERP system used in LilyTronics.
• JLCPCB_ID: part ID used by JLCPCB.
• JLCPCB_STATUS: Basic, Extended preferred, Extended

Usage

There are two ways you can use the KiCad libraries:
