Today #CERN released its #KiCad component library to the public.
They are licensed CERN-OHL-P-2.0
Thank you OSPO ❤️ for getting this done.
Originally the library is made in Altium and will also be maintained in Altium. The repo only contains files that have been automatically converted.
It is a database library which contains only fully specified parts. There are lots of weird connectors. Have fun exploring.

KiCad 10 is released!
Whilst we await our own significant releases, we wanted to take an opportunity to congratulate our wider open source family members, KiCad, on the recent release of KiCad version 10.

New vid! #PCBs I made in 2025, part 1: LED charm ✨

Finally pulled together a prototype with this little board – one of my new #Charmware set, reviving the series of modular tech #jewelry bits I started back in 2018. Been dreaming of assembling these with elytra and bike-leather, and the day finally came... The board still needs some tweaks (smaller switch etc.), but with my fixed-up #KiCad workflow, those will be a snap. 😸
