In depth version of how to get started 🏎️
- First, download KiCAD for your specific OS
- Next, make sure you have Git installed.
- GitHub Desktop If you are not tech savvy
- Git If you are tech savvy 😎
If you installed GitHub desktop, create an account and close the repository. I recommend cloning the repository into your documents folder.
How to clone repositories on GitHub desktop
The repository url is: https://github.com/formulaslug/fs-2-schematics
If you are tech savvy and using Git
$ git clone https://github.com/formulaslug/fs-2-schematics
- Setting the project file path correctly on KiCAD
Make sure KiCAD is currently open
Then click on preferences -> Configure Paths..
Click on the plus on the bottom right to add a new path variable
On the left, you want it FS_2_SCHEMATICS <- all caps
On the right, you want to set the path where you installed the repository (the folder is called fs-2-schematics)
Click on the folder on the right, and find fs-2-schematics repo like stated above
Should look something like this after its done
Example (might look different if you are using an Mac, or Linux):
| Left side | Right side |
|---|---|
| FS_2_SCHEMATICS | Docs\fs-2-schematics |
- Lastly, open up the project
This is the design for the LTC6811-based BMS module, based on the design from fs-1.
