ts-kicad-lib

After over 30 years of using EagleCAD as my design tool, and the constant reminder that it will stop working in June 2026, I finally put the time in to learn KiCAD. Version 9 is really stable now and as far as I can tell it's, in some cases, even much better than Eagle. And so I now need to port my Eagle libraries to KiCAD ... and most is not by conversion (as the layers don't 100% match 1-on-1). And so this will be the slow progression of that effort.

What's included

Library Description
ts-kicad-lib Collection of general components used in most projects.
ts-keyboard-lib Collection of custom keyboard specific components.

A variety of 3D Models, as STEP files.


ts-kicad-lib

Most of these are already available, but not to my liking. (What's with the giant symbols?) Also added a few tweaks to suite my preferences.

Symbols

  • Multi-pin connectors: 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 pin variants
  • Ferrite Beed
  • M25C EEPROM
  • Mounting holes: M2
  • QWIIC connector
  • ESD's: SRV05-4 & TPDxE05U06
  • USB-C Receptacle

Footprints

  • M2 Hole (no copper)
  • M2 Mounting Hole (copper sleave), 2 variants
  • SMB jumpers
  • Common Footprints
    • SOIC-8, 2 variants
    • SOP-8
  • USB-C Receptacle USB4085 PHT variant

ts-keyboard-lib

A port of my ts-eagle-lib.

Symbols

  • 156120M Common Anode BRG (RGB)
  • SK6812MINI-E Addressable RGB (ARGB)
  • Stabilisers: 2, 3, 6, 6¼ & 7U variants
  • Momentary Switch (oriented at 45° to fit a matrix better)

Footprints
