/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 formatsdatasheets/- Component datasheets and specificationssimulations/- SPICE simulations and analysisassembly/- 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.
