This is essentially similar to the pull request I already sent with the PocketBone ( https://github.com/jadonk/PocketBone/pull/15 ).
I did not add a %%gitversion%%
silkscreen yet on the board - it would fit naturally in the center of the board on the bottom, but this is also where you usually have the PocketBeagle logo, so not sure where a preferred place would be.
(But if this is the 'community version', then I could add some smack center).
Note, this creates a directory plot/
currently in KiCAD, which is of course alongside the existing, checked-in plots/
dir. So the plots/ directory should probably be removed or we change the Makefile to write into plots/ also ... I leave that up to you and @mwelling
So this pull request requires some more decisions for you.
One thing is: the Gerber files are names a little differently: the files in the plots/
directory can not be simply packed up and send to OshPark, they have trouble recognizing the names, while the files created with my script generate Gerber files and a zip file with names that OshPark can understand out of the box.
I have one on order now to to see how things turn out. The Makefile-generated zip-file uploads to OshPark without problem.
Here, I added a %%gitversion%%
on the bottom of the board. You can also see the slightly moved silkscreen of the connector, which is pull request #1
Thanks @hzeller! I don't have write access to this repository though. Perhaps @jadonk can merge this upon approval.
We can remove the stale Gerbers from the plots directory.
This also prepares the possibility to add a %%gitversion%% string somewhere on the silkscreen which is replaced with the current git version (but no such silkscreen is added in this commit).
