Hardware (KiCad)

Overview

  • Project directory: hardware_kicad/
  • Core sources: schematics (*.kicad_sch), board (*.kicad_pcb), project file (*.kicad_pro).
  • Auxiliary: iBOM config (ibom.config.ini), optional STL and notes.

Prototype hardware for the trigger has been validated against the v1.21a firmware.

KiCad Version

  • Designed/tested with KiCad 7/8. Re‑generate outputs with your installed version.

Fabrication Outputs

To produce fabrication outputs (Gerbers/Drill/PDF):

  • Open the project in KiCad.
  • Plot layers as required by your fabricator (F.Cu/B.Cu, F.SilkS, F.Mask, Edge.Cuts, etc.).
  • Generate drill files (PTH/NPTH) and drill maps as needed.
  • Optionally export PDFs for documentation and assembly guides.

Note: historical “plotter outputs” and iBOM HTMLs may exist from prototyping. Future releases will attach curated artifacts to GitHub releases rather than committing bulk outputs.

Safety Notes

  • Treat the HV trigger output as live hardware — validate with dummy loads first.
  • Verify pin mappings in config.h for your ESP32 variant before powering hardware.
