NURDspace KiCAD template

This is a custom KiCAD symbol library. It includes electronic parts grouped by type for easy use in circuit design.

📘Overview

• Total libraries: 26
• Total parts: 1,614
• Format: .kicad_sym (KiCAD 6+ compatible)

Each library holds parts like resistors, capacitors, diodes, and connectors. They are organised to make schematic design faster and more consistent.

How to Use the Template

This template works with KiCAD’s Create a New Project from Template feature. It sets up a ready-to-use schematic, PCB, and library configuration for new designs.

Step 1 — Place the Template Folder

Copy the entire NURDspace Template folder into the KiCAD template directory. The location depends on your operating system.

Windows:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\KiCad\9.0\template\

Linux:

/home/<username>/.local/share/kicad/9.0/template/

Step 2 — Start KiCAD and Create a Project

1. Open KiCAD.
2. Go to File → New Project → New Project from Template.
3. Select NURDspace Template from the list.
4. Choose a folder and name for your new project.
5. KiCAD will copy all project files and libraries into the new folder.

Step 3 — Start Designing

The new project will include:

• A schematic with linked libraries.
• A PCB layout with standard design rules.
• Configured symbol and footprint tables.
• Folders for BOM, Exports, and Gerbers.

You can now start adding your own components and making changes.

Notes

• The library names start with .NRD_.
• The _project library can be used for project specific parts
