PCB designs built from scratch in KiCad — schematic capture, layout, ERC/DRC-clean, with Gerbers, drill files, BOM, and 3D renders for every completed board. The set covers the three areas most common in hardware roles: embedded/microcontroller, IoT & wireless, and power electronics.
The designs are my own work, using a PCB design workflow carried over from Eagle and
Proteus. docs/kicad-for-eagle-proteus-users.md
documents how that workflow maps onto KiCad.
| # | Board | Domain | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | USB-UART Breakout | Embedded | ✅ Complete |
| 02 | MCU Dev Board | Embedded | ✅ Complete |
| 03 | IoT Sensor Node | IoT & Wireless | 🔧 In design |
| 04 | USB-PD Power Module | Power Electronics | 📋 Planned |
Complete = schematic + layout + ERC/DRC clean + manufacturing outputs + board documentation.
See docs/ROADMAP.md for the remaining scope.

Each board's KiCad project sits directly at the top level of its folder (no nested
sub-folder), alongside its gerbers/, bom/, images/, and a README.md that
GitHub renders when the folder is opened. Backup, autosave, and machine-specific
files (*.kicad_prl, *-backups/, _autosave-*) are git-ignored; everything needed
to open a project or send it to a fab house is committed.
Custom symbols and footprints used by more than one board live in
shared-library/ and are added to each project as a
project-specific library path, so the repository stays self-contained for anyone who
clones it.
