ESMART-HW-LIB-PUB

ESMART-HW-LIB-PUB is the public E-SMART hardware part library. It is created for the purpose of holding the hardware parts designed by Laurence Deschênes-Villeneuve and part of his open source library REEKILIB. The purpose of this repository is to act as a save point for the part used in E-SMART propriatary hardware designs. Since REEKILIB is covered by the GPL-v3.0, these hardware parts must be available for public use free of charge. However, anyone who wishes to use, fork or copy the parts and models must respect the GPL-v3.0 license.

No support, updates, releases or modifications will be made to this repository from the original release.

REEKiLib explained

This is a parts library for KiCAD from RealEE containing schematic symbols, PCB footprints, 3D models, simulation model, templates and others utils for HW design.
This repo is not intended to be added as a git submodule as it is quite heavy, rather you should install it locally on your workstation.

Compatibility

This library is mainly aimed at the [stable][kicad_install_link] version (currently 8) but may be compatible with [previous][kicad_install_link] (6,7) and [newer][kicad_install_link] (9+) versions.

Organization

• 3dmodel: 3D models used in the footprints
• footprint: Standard and custom PCB footprints grouped by type inside subfolder
• simmodel: Simulation (SPICE & IBIS) parts model _(limited to publicly available models)
• symbol: Schematic symbol available in this lib

How to use

1. clone the repo to a local folder accessible to KiCAD
2. create an environment variable inside KiCAD named ESMART-HW-LIB-PUB pointing to the root folder of the repo
3. install the necessary symbol lib from the folder symbol
4. install the necessary footprint lib from the folder footprint
