Hackaday • • technology
Key Points:
- CERN has released its extensive KiCad libraries for PCB layouts used in their particle accelerator projects as open source, allowing broader access to their work.
- The libraries are currently available in a GitLab repository and are compatible with KiCad version 9.x, with official support for version 10.x planned.
- Users attempting to install the libraries on KiCad 10.0 may encounter issues, such as missing JSON files, but these are expected to be resolved with future updates.
- The repository includes a wide variety of electronic components, potentially making CERN's footprints a common choice in many electronics projects.
