KiCad project templates
License: Other
There is no official guide on how to create a KiCad template. The only documentation about it is a small description about the needed files here.
Maybe adding a section in KLC for templates? That would be very useful for people creating new templates as well as for people using them. There is no convention for the names of libs/footprint/3D arquives. Each template has a different naming schema and that makes it confusing for new template development.
Hi Templateers-
As part of the Great KiCad GitLab migration of 2019, I am testing the movement of open issues and PRs from GitHub to GitLab.
Here's what we know so far:
In order to facilitate the transfer, it will be helpful if you can do two things:
The second point is critical because the migration script will only link users whose e-mail addresses match. If the script can't see your GitHub e-mail address, the issue will be tied to the KiCad-Bot that performs the migration.
It will greatly assist my testing for bugs if you could do the two steps above as soon as possible.
Thank you-
Seth
The Raspberry pi hat template specifies R23 and R24 (part of the ideal diode back circuit to prevent back powering) as 22R resistors. This much, much too low - 230mA is being pulled through the transistor, through the resistor to ground! Way over the 1/16w spec for an 0402 resistor.
If you look at the official Raspberry Pi documentation, it recommends 47K as a value for these resistors: https://github.com/raspberrypi/hats/blob/master/zvd-circuit.png
This resistor value should be changed to something more sensible - is it possible the unit (K) has been missed out of the schematic?
I can confirm this issue affects the actual hardware produced using this template - we designed a hat around it and and after a little while, burned out these resistors.

.minnowboard-ls-lure
.raspberrypi_hat
has a symbol called 40HAT
which is rather non-descriptive. What if another version of the Rasp Pi had a different pinout? Or another template needed a 40-pin header? Contrast this with raspberrypi-gpio-40pin
(and the templates above) which uses a generic header.ti-stellaris-boosterpack40_min
also has specific named headers instead of generic ones.raspberrypi_hat
board could also include the locations of the camera and display cutout on some info layer as a guide. It also has horrible settings for clearance and min width for the zones.raspberrypi-gpio
board has a text note that P1 should be on the bottom of the board, so why isn't it placed there? For whatever reason it's on the top. raspberrypi-gpio-40pin
does this properly.stm32f100-discovery-shield
has a zone poured. Perhaps it's better to leave that all up to the user.KiCad thinks CMakeModules is a template and tries to open icon and html from it

Probably templates should get a .template
suffix in the future to distinguish them from normal directories
How do we best convert these templates over to use the new footprints?
Do we need to manually run the remap process on these? (should they first be made to use the new library to ensure that remapping works?)
The following files in this repo:
Are also in main KiCad repo. Is there are supposed to be duplicate ?
Thanks,
I have a macrofab kicad template design in google drive here is the link
i don't understand github this is compressed in 7zip & windows 10.
