# /hardware
|
|
|
|
Hardware documentation and support files for your KiCad project.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
This directory contains hardware-related documentation and files that support your KiCad design:
|
|
- Bill of Materials (BOM)
|
|
- Component datasheets
|
|
- Circuit simulations
|
|
- Assembly documentation
|
|
|
|
## Directory Structure
|
|
- `bom/` - Bill of Materials in various formats
|
|
- `datasheets/` - Component datasheets and specifications
|
|
- `simulations/` - SPICE simulations and analysis
|
|
- `assembly/` - Assembly drawings and instructions
|
|
|
|
## Note
|
|
Your main KiCad design files (`.kicad_pro`, `.kicad_sch`, `.kicad_pcb`) should be in the project root directory, with KiCad-specific files organized in the `/kicad/` directory.
