Power/data splitter for PD Buddy Sink

Clara Hobbs fdc9541fe3 Use connectors from KiCad library The new USB connector footprints have been merged into the KiCad library now, so I can use them from there instead of from my own fork. This bumps the version number to v1.1. This version is not complete yet; I plan to make the board a bit smaller before I call the next version "done".		hace 7 años

Power/data splitter for PD Buddy Sink.

This PCB must be 0.8 mm thick for the USB Type-C plug to fit in place. Use 2 oz copper to ensure the board can carry lots of current with ease.

The PCB is made with KiCad, so you’ll need that if you want to make any changes. Several PCB fabricators accept KiCad PCB files directly now, but if you intend to order from one that does not, you’ll need KiCad to plot the Gerbers.

KiCad 4 supports loading footprint libraries from Git repositories, but its support for doing the same with symbol libraries is lacking. To address this, I added the variable _KI_LIB_GIT. Set this path in the main KiCad window (Preferences > Configure Paths) to point to a local copy of the kicad-library repository to ensure that you’re using the latest schematic libraries.
