Please make actual source files available

Hi, this is not open-source hardware. I love the concept behind Inkplate and i'd love to contribute in the design. Sadly you've not published the actual source files, so i cannot contribute to your work. Please publish your sources, and also publish your iteration commits so we can see the design evolve and help out!

Oh another bit: you're not even including the component layout. So When you make these PCBs yourself, you have to reverse engineer the BOM+Schematic to figure out which bit goes where.

This is not open source hardware. Far from it even.

I would also be interested in the eagle(?) files, in order to do some small modifications. Are there plans to opensource those files too? @davidzovko

Bump, I'd like to see the sources too!

Please provide Eagle/KiCad schematics and PCB design files, and BOM as CSV, not proprietary XLSX!

Sorry not to publish the original source files. The files which we have are unavailable to be published publicly because of the software error which we have in Altium. We must redraw it in KiCad and afterwards, we will share it.

I'd also like to see the source files publicly. Will they be released in the near future?

Hi, yes, we are doing a redraw in KiCad and will publish them as soon as they are ready. We estimate about 2 months to get this done.

Sounds awesome! Are you also going to publish also the 10" Inkplate source files?

tiri avatar Jan 21 '22 13:01 tiri

We are going to redo all board, incl. 10, in KiCAD and Soldered branding and release them here on our GitHub.
