And yesterday I've ordered by very first PCB!

a trivial one that I could have easily done with wires on perfboard (actually, a variation of one I've done a few times on perfboard), if I had not been out of the right size of perfboard and not wanting to bother with cutting a bigger one down to size :D

but I have wanted to try my hand at that for some time, but was somewhat intimidated by the whole thing, and as usual doing it in anger is good at overcoming intimidation :D

anyway, the point of this post is to say thank you to #librePCB for making the whole process quite smooth and to @federico3 for maintaining it in debian :D

Great news: The #LibrePCB project receives a second grant from the NGI0 Commons Fund!

The goal of the next year will be to work on LibrePCB 2.0. Planned key updates include schematic buses, KiCad library import, interactive HTML BOM, and several other features.

Additionally, we are planning to slowly move from C++ towards #Rust. Right now, we are experimenting with a rewrite of the complete UI using the Slint framework.

Any #librePCB users out there? Thinking of learning it - but if I'm gonna use it for guitar stuff, the absence of a 3PDT switch is a dealbreaker & I can't find a guide or tutorial that actually explains how to build a library element like that...

(for the record, Circuit JS lets you add poles to a switch component, making this addition a breeze - but obviously it has no PCB builder)

Hat schonmal jemand von euch mit #LibrePCB einen Schaltplan erstellt und ICs verwendet die nicht in den Bibliotheken vorhanden sind?

Bei dem Umfang der dort bisher drin ist scheint mir das ein offensichtlicher UseCase, aber ich sehe nicht wie ich das am einfachsten machen kann...

Bin für Tipps und Boosts in der #maker community dankbar.
