Acheron Hardware KiCad footprint library

Introduction

Acheron Hardware is the AcheronProject's KiCad footprint library for overal interaction hardware like standoffs, featherboards, buttons, battery holders. Most of these footprints were developed independently using datasheets.

How to use

1. Clone the git repository into a libraries folder inside your KiCad project main folder, also known was ${KIPRJMOD}.
2. In PCBNEW, go into Preferences > Manage Footprint Libraries... then under the Project tab, press the plus sign and select the acheron_Hardware.pretty folder.
3. After that the library footprints should be available for addition in the PCB layout from the Add a footprint button. Click that button or press O and try adding a footprint from the library like the Mini_F4X1_STM32 footprint.

Description and credits

• Bluepill_STM32F103: Blue-Pill style featherboard (STM32F103-based). It was developed independently;
• Mini_F4X1_STM32: "black-pill" style featherboard (STM32F4X1-based), specifically the ones developed by WeAct. They were developed using the openly available land footprint in the hardware documentation section of the repository;
• MouseBite_IPC7351: mouse bite marks as defined in IPC standard 7351 for PCB reproduction and pannelization.
