**A comprehensive KiCad Library for the Raspberry Pi Pico** 🥧 ============================================================== ### Providing footprints, symbols, & models for the module's various forms & implementations > *For the git submodule, see [Ki-Lime Pi To-Go][URL-Submodule]* ***Features*** ============== - **KiCad 8.0 support** *(For KiCad 7.0 support, see [release 1.1.0][URL-Release-7.0-Support])* - **Schematics with alternate pin definitions** to select more specific behaviours for each GPIO, as well as specify power directionality - **Generic and specific footprints** for the Pico and Pico W - Through-hole and surface-mount footprints with and without mounting holes - Hand-solderable test points (ie. USB signals) in footprints with underside castellations - Optional pin labels as an add-on footprint - Optional keepout zone for 2.4 GHz RF on shared footprints - Ability to add individual schematic symbols for sockets, and a virtual Pico for the BOM and rendering - **Diverse 3D models** for surface-mount, through-hole, and socketed forms of the Pico, Pico H, Pico W, and Pico WH using photorealistic materials - Majority adherence to the [KiCad Library Conventions][URL-KLC] version 3.0.41 ***How do I use this library?*** ================================ > *If you want to include this library as a git submodule, check out [Ki-Lime Pi To-Go][URL-Submodule]* - Ensure you are running KiCad 8.0 or later *(For KiCad 7.0 support, see [release 1.1.0][URL-Release-7.0-Support])* - Download the most recent [release][URL-Releases] of the library - Unzip the file contents - If not already created, create a new KiCad project - Move the root library directory `RaspberryPi_Pico/` to a folder anywhere within your KiCad project > *If using the library globally, move `RaspberryPi_Pico/` to a globally accessible location* - Open the relevant KiCad project - Select `Preferences > Manage Footprint Libraries...` - Select the `Project Specific Libraries` tab > *If using the library globally, select the `Global Librarires` tab instead* - Click the folder icon in the lower left to `Add Existing` - Navigate to and select `.../RaspberryPi_Pico/Module_RaspberryPi_Pico.pretty/` - Click `OK` - Select `Preferences > Manage Symbol Libraries...` - Select the `Project Specific Libraries` tab > *If using the library globally, select the `Global Libaries` tab instead* - Click the folder icon in the lower left to `Add existing library to table` - Navigate to and select `.../RaspberryPi_Pico/MCU_Module_RaspberryPi_Pico.kicad_sym` - Click `OK` To use, simply add a symbol to your schematic as you would any other; symbols should be located under the section `MCU_Module_RaspberryPi_Pico`, and footprints under `Module_RaspberryPi_Pico`. **You're all set to design exciting new circuit boards using the Raspberry Pi Pico! 🎉** ***Further reading*** ===================== *Further reading available in the [source repository][URL-Repository].* ***License / Access*** ====================== This work is made freely available under your choice of the [*MIT-0*](./LICENSE.txt) license or [*CC0-1.0*][URL-CC0] public domain dedication.
