Directory Structure:

.
|
|───production  # contains files needed for final prototype
|   |
|   |───eCAD    # contains the KiCAD project
|   └───src     # contains the code needed for deployment
|
|───testing     # contains files relevant to testing components
|
└───README.md   # this file!

Preferred Tools

• KiCAD for PCB development
• Visual Studio Code / PlatformIO for code development
• Git CLI / GitHub Desktop for managing Git

Branches

To isolate conflicts for schematics and code, we use two branches to actually develop off of depending on discipline

• develop/ecad is for schematic development, please create PR's into this branch for schematics and operate in this branch for layout
• develop/src is for code development, please create PR's into this branch for features

References

• Schematics + Components (WIP)

Practice Good Git Hygiene!

1. Only commit files you intended to change
2. Create branches for each feature, and larger branches for each development effort (i.e. develop/*)
3. Check your branch before starting work
4. Pull frequently to avoid conflicts
5. Make Pull Requests when you are ready to merge into a larger branch
