KiCad Assets

Collection of custom KiCad assets to expand your design capabilities. Includes symbols, footprints, and 3D models ready for your projects.

KiCad Library Convention (KLC)

This project follows the KiCad Library Conventions (KLC) to ensure consistency and facilitate contributions. Users wishing to submit or update library files should be familiar with these guidelines.

The KLC are a set of guidelines, rather than rules. Electronic component libraries are diverse and complex, and exceptions can be made at the discretion of the library team.
