logo
Here is the logo I use for my hardware (electronic) project to show it is open source:
Why I created it is well explained in episode #013.
generator
You can customize and download the logo using the open source hardware logo generator. How it works is pretty well described in the source files.
The generator allows to export in the following formats:
- gEDA pcb: footprint for the electronic CAD software I use. the format is pretty well documented
- KiCad: footprint for the electronic CAD software I used, and which I can only recommend. the newer S-expression module format is ok documented
You can download the files thanks to FileSaver.js. And you can get all formats in a .zip file thanks to JSZip.
