The 'OSHW_logo_orig.emp' file results in a silkscreen logo with
|
||
|
about 1.18in height, which may be too large for your project.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use the scale.pl script to resize it:
|
||
|
|
||
|
scale.pl OSHW_logo_orig.emp new_logo.emp <layer> 5.0mm
|
||
|
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
|
||
|
scale.pl OSHW_logo_orig.emp new_logo.emp <layer> 0.5in
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Replace <layer> with the KiCad layer you need.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Top copper: 15
|
||
|
Top silkscreen: 21
|
||
|
|
||
|
To move the object to bottom copper/silkscreen, just place
|
||
|
the curser over the logo and press 'F' for flip in pcbnew.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Now start kicad/pcbnew, go into the library/footprint editor
|
||
|
("open module editor", it's the icon left to the scissors looking
|
||
|
like a DIP chip) and click on the "import module" icon, select
|
||
|
the .emp file of your choice and click OK.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want to finish quickly, just click on the "insert module
|
||
|
into current board icon" (it's the one with the yellow star).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Place the logo where you need it. If the size is still not correct,
|
||
|
repeat at the beginning.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the logo doesn't show up on your gerber files, your version
|
||
|
of kicad still suffers from bug #792399.
