Getting started

In depth version of how to get started 🏎️

Tools that we are using

• GitHub
• KiCAD

1. First, download KiCAD for your specific OS

2. Next, make sure you have Git installed.

• GitHub Desktop If you are not tech savvy
• Git If you are tech savvy 😎

If you installed GitHub desktop, create an account and close the repository. I recommend cloning the repository into your documents folder.

How to clone repositories on GitHub desktop

The repository url is: https://github.com/formulaslug/fs-2-schematics

If you are tech savvy and using Git

$ git clone https://github.com/formulaslug/fs-2-schematics

3. Setting the project file path correctly on KiCAD

Make sure KiCAD is currently open

Then click on preferences -> Configure Paths..

Click on the plus on the bottom right to add a new path variable

On the left, you want it FS_2_SCHEMATICS <- all caps

On the right, you want to set the path where you installed the repository (the folder is called fs-2-schematics)

Click on the folder on the right, and find fs-2-schematics repo like stated above

Should look something like this after its done

Example (might look different if you are using an Mac, or Linux):

Left side	Right side
FS_2_SCHEMATICS	Docs\fs-2-schematics

4. Lastly, open up the project
