KiCad-specific files and directories for your KiCad 9 project.
Directory Structure
libraries/- Custom KiCad libraries (symbols, footprints, 3D models)schematics/- Additional/hierarchical schematic filesgerbers/- Generated Gerber files for reviewplots/- PDF plots and prints of schematics/PCBsbackups/- KiCad automatic backups (excluded from git)
Usage Notes
- Your main project files (
.kicad_pro,.kicad_sch,.kicad_pcb) should be in the root directory - Use relative paths when referencing custom libraries
- The
backups/folder is automatically managed by KiCad and excluded from version control - Generated files in
gerbers/andplots/are for review - final production files go in/manufacturing/
