KiCAD Multi-project upgrade and organisation
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
Hello there!
We are working on a music creation tool, and are looking for someone to help us with KiCAD.
Given a folder with multiple KiCAD projects which are a couple KiCAD versions old, and one project which has been moved into its own folder and updated to KiCAD 9, we need the other remaining projects moved into their own folders and updated as well. The projects all reference the same footprint/symbol library, which lives in the same folder as the existing projects. The individual projects will need validation to ensure they reference the correct entries in the library.
The specific projects which need moving into their own folders are the Z2_display and Z2_rpi4 projects. The display project will retain that name, and the rpi4 project should be renamed to Z2_main.
This is preparatory work for more invasive changes which need to be done to the boards. Those changes will be a future project proposal, and are out of scope for this one, but it should be taken into account that this is why we propose the work.
Deliverables for this work would be :
- Migrate the project to KiCAD 9
- Rename the Z2_rpi4 project to Z2_main
- Move the projects to their individual subdirectories
- Have a common library project which all the sub projects will refer to instead of using the legacy library references
- Fix any issue with referencing the libraries in the subprojects
If this sounds like something you’d like to take on, a couple of questions:
- When would you be able to start?
- How long would you estimate for such a task?
- And, of course, what would be your estimated price?
