README

A comprehensive KiCad Library for the Raspberry Pi Pico 🥧

Providing footprints, symbols, & models for the module's various forms & implementations

For the git submodule, see [Ki-Lime Pi To-Go][URL-Submodule]

Features

• KiCad 8.0 support (For KiCad 7.0 support, see [release 1.1.0][URL-Release-7.0-Support])
• Schematics with alternate pin definitions to select more specific behaviours for each GPIO, as well as specify power directionality
• Generic and specific footprints for the Pico and Pico W
  • Through-hole and surface-mount footprints with and without mounting holes
  • Hand-solderable test points (ie. USB signals) in footprints with underside castellations
  • Optional pin labels as an add-on footprint
  • Optional keepout zone for 2.4 GHz RF on shared footprints
  • Ability to add individual schematic symbols for sockets, and a virtual Pico for the BOM and rendering
• Diverse 3D models for surface-mount, through-hole, and socketed forms of the Pico, Pico H, Pico W, and Pico WH using photorealistic materials
• Majority adherence to the KiCad Library Conventions version 3.0.41

How do I use this library?

If you want to include this library as a git submodule, check out [Ki-Lime Pi To-Go][URL-Submodule]

• Ensure you are running KiCad 8.0 or later (For KiCad 7.0 support, see [release 1.1.0][URL-Release-7.0-Support])
• Download the most recent [release][URL-Releases] of the library
• Unzip the file contents
• If not already created, create a new KiCad project
• Move the root library directory RaspberryPi_Pico/ to a folder anywhere within your KiCad project

  If using the library globally, move RaspberryPi_Pico/ to a globally accessible location

• Open the relevant KiCad project
• Select Preferences > Manage Footprint Libraries...
• Select the Project Specific Libraries tab

  If using the library globally, select the Global Librarires tab instead

• Click the folder icon in the lower left to Add Existing
• Navigate to and select .../RaspberryPi_Pico/Module_RaspberryPi_Pico.pretty/
• Click OK
• Select Preferences > Manage Symbol Libraries...
• Select the Project Specific Libraries tab

  If using the library globally, select the Global Libaries tab instead

• Click the folder icon in the lower left to Add existing library to table
• Navigate to and select .../RaspberryPi_Pico/MCU_Module_RaspberryPi_Pico.kicad_sym
• Click OK

To use, simply add a symbol to your schematic as you would any other; symbols should be located under the section MCU_Module_RaspberryPi_Pico, and footprints under Module_RaspberryPi_Pico.

You're all set to design exciting new circuit boards using the Raspberry Pi Pico! 🎉
