DIY: создание новых компнентов в LibrePCB

При создании плат в той или иной программе периодически приходится использовать какие-то компоненты, которых нет в стандартном пакете: какой-нибудь разъем необычного размера, готовый модуль и т.д. Сам пользуюсь сейчас LibrePCB, и вот в комментариях видел вопрос: а где брать компоненты для LibrePCB, если их там не нашлось? Создать, конечно! Создание нового компонента только на первый взгляд кажется сложным. но на самом деле всё довольно просто, если понять логику, как это там делается. Например, нужно создать компонент модуля понижения напряжения DCDC:

@gerotakke I totally get it.

I have the same problem with PCBs. My first three projects are in JLCPCB’s EasyEDA, because it was quicker to get started. It’s nice, but it’s not awesome either. I want to get them out of there to regain control, but for that I need to learn #KiCAD, and I don’t know whether it’s going to be frustrating. There’s also #LibrePCB, which is nice, but I’m not sure whether it’s going to become too limited.

At least simple PCBs like mine are easy to redo from scratch.

We've just released #LibrePCB 2.0.1, which brings a few minor improvements and bugfixes. See the full changelog here: https://librepcb.org/blog/2026-02-22_release_2.0.1/

🎉 LibrePCB 2.0 is out!

#LibrePCB is a free, cross-platform application for drawing schematics and designing PCBs.
With version 2.0, the UI migrated from #Qt to #Slint, bringing a refreshed interface focused on productivity.

We’re proud to see #Slint used in a large-scale, full-featured desktop application 💙

@ed dopo *mesi* ho ripreso in mano le strisce a led da mettere sui pensili della sala, ho visto accendere una striscia *senza che fondessero né la breadboard né i relativi jumper* tramite cui il tutto era collegato al microcontrollore e poi ho aperto #LibrePCB e iniziato a disegnare cose.

e stiamo parlando di *luci* *colorate*, mica roba bianco calda qualunque!

if u are #sleepless u have time to checkout stuff.
Because i'm just looking for a #PCB design software like #eagle or #KiCAD
i found #LibrePCB and installed the AppImage to check it out.
Before i can say more, i will test it and try to make a little project, but the first impression is quite positive.

And what can I say, the Swiss developer even has a Mastodon account.

The open-source PCB design tool #LibrePCB is incrementally migrating its UI from #Qt to #Slint. After 6 months of work, they’re almost finished 🎉 They published a blog post detailing the progress with screenshots and videos: https://librepcb.org/blog/2025-09-12_preview_of_next_gen_ui/

#MadeWithSlint #cpp #cplusplus #QtDev

After more than 6 months of hard work, we have almost finished our completely new, next-gen UI for #LibrePCB 2.0 which we built with #Slint! 🎉
Check out the details with screenshots, demo videos and nightly builds to see what you can expect from the upcoming release:

Exciting times: Our manufacturing partner @aislerhq (https://aisler.net/) just became a Silver level sponsor of #LibrePCB! Thank you for sharing our vision of simplifying hardware development since we met the first time at FOSDEM 2018 🎉

#LibrePCB is continuing its incremental migration from #Qt to #Slint!
Their latest PR includes 📽️ video demos of the progress.
A great example of Slint in a complex desktop app 💻

Trying out #LibrePCB right now. And what should I say? At first glance, I like it better than #KiCad.

#LibrePCB has a new sponsor! We are very happy to welcome @partsbox in our community. Check out their electronic parts inventory system: https://partsbox.com/

#LibrePCB has taken the first step in its UI overhaul by replacing the Qt-based Control Panel with one built using Slint 🚀 #MadeWithSlint

More to come as they integrate Slint further 👀

#LibrePCB 1.3.0 released with an interactive HTML BOM export, KiCad v9 compatibility, various fixes and initial use of #Rust. Details here: https://librepcb.org/blog/2025-03-24_release_1.3.0/

And yesterday I've ordered by very first PCB!

a trivial one that I could have easily done with wires on perfboard (actually, a variation of one I've done a few times on perfboard), if I had not been out of the right size of perfboard and not wanting to bother with cutting a bigger one down to size :D

but I have wanted to try my hand at that for some time, but was somewhat intimidated by the whole thing, and as usual doing it in anger is good at overcoming intimidation :D

anyway, the point of this post is to say thank you to #librePCB for making the whole process quite smooth and to @federico3 for maintaining it in debian :D

#LibrePCB, the open-source PCB design tool, received a grant from #NLNet to develop version 2.0. They're switching to Rust 🦀 and using #Slint for their UI — we're proud to see them choose our toolkit.😌 https://librepcb.org/blog/2024-10-17_roadmap_2.0/ #RustLang

Great news: The #LibrePCB project receives a second grant from the NGI0 Commons Fund!

The goal of the next year will be to work on LibrePCB 2.0. Planned key updates include schematic buses, KiCad library import, interactive HTML BOM, and several other features.

Additionally, we are planning to slowly move from C++ towards #Rust. Right now, we are experimenting with a rewrite of the complete UI using the Slint framework.

Чипы для всех. Свободный стандарт на производство микросхем

LibrePCB : бесплатный инструмент для разработки печатных плат под Windows, Linux и MacOS Идея свободного железа особенно актуальна сейчас, когда крупные корпорации пытаются ограничить доступ к своей интеллектуальной собственности, а национальные правительства ставят друг другу препоны в доступе к технологиям. Многие хотели бы составить конкуренцию лидерам — TSMC, Samsung и Intel, которые являются фактически монополистами в производстве современных микросхем по техпроцессу 2/5 нм.

Hat schonmal jemand von euch mit #LibrePCB einen Schaltplan erstellt und ICs verwendet die nicht in den Bibliotheken vorhanden sind?

Bei dem Umfang der dort bisher drin ist scheint mir das ein offensichtlicher UseCase, aber ich sehe nicht wie ich das am einfachsten machen kann...

Bin für Tipps und Boosts in der #maker community dankbar.
