upverter, fritzing, & other design program templates

Similarly to #1, we'd love template contributions!

I use upverter and just tried making a new part. Upverter doesn't allow footprints to be made using pictures, so I don't think a typical footprint is going to be possible. I ended up installing Inkscape and created my own little logo. The font as described in the readme comes pre-installed with Inkscape.

I have attached the svg I created; it should be easy enough for someone to edit it with Inkscape to change the UID.

Hi, just looking at it here:

it could use a little more space between the digits and the box above. See for example:

https://github.com/oshwa/certification-mark/raw/master/artwork/example.png

But sorry, i don't use Upverter -- can you upload an SVG? Thanks for your work on this!

Hello,
Sorry for the delay, but I have attached a zip file in #19 with a slightly changed logo with the extra spacing along with a very short writeup of how to change it further within Inkscape.

As for Upverter, you can upload a png and place it on the silkscreen layer to achieve the 'footprint'. I had some issues with using svg files.

I also just threw this together for:

https://oshw-svg-logo.herokuapp.com/?serial=US####

It's just a quick hack of an svg to replace 'serial' in the URL with what you pass to it.

For example,
https://oshw-svg-logo.herokuapp.com/?serial=US0001

Gives you a certification mark with US0001. It will take a serial number between 4 and 6 numerical digits plus the two letters in front.

It's running on heroku for free. Anyone is welcome to use the source and improve it, I'm not much of a web developer.

I tried converting the official SVG to KiCAD footprint, but the result was frankly quite ugly.
So I used it as a template for this:

(module OSHW (layer F.Cu) (tedit 5A379F9A)
  (fp_text reference G*** (at -3.048 -6.096) (layer F.SilkS) hide
    (effects (font (thickness 0.3)))
  )
  (fp_text value ITcertno (at 0 3.556) (layer F.SilkS)
    (effects (font (thickness 0.3)))
  )
  (fp_line (start 3.683 0) (end 4.572 -5.715) (layer F.SilkS) (width 0.35))
  (fp_text user OSHW (at -0.127 -1.397) (layer F.SilkS)
    (effects (font (size 3.2 2.2) (thickness 0.35)))
  )
  (fp_line (start 3.556 -4.699) (end -5.334 -4.699) (layer F.SilkS) (width 0.55))
  (fp_line (start -5.334 -4.699) (end -5.334 1.524) (layer F.SilkS) (width 0.55))
  (fp_line (start -5.334 1.524) (end 5.461 1.524) (layer F.SilkS) (width 0.55))
  (fp_line (start 5.461 1.524) (end 5.461 -4.953) (layer F.SilkS) (width 0.55))
)

The result is like this:

Is it Ok to use? I could use the same system to create a schematic symbol, too...

That looks good to me

[jywarren]

Indeed! Could you open a pull request with this to be included into the library of templates? What's the best way to share it?

Just after cloning this repo, I found it already contains way better "footprints" for KiCAD. Sorry for the noise.

[jywarren]

Oh, I'm sorry! I don't use it myself so I hadn't remembered that. Thanks in any case!
