almost all of the symbols and footprints used in the schematic and board layout are defined in the [QEDA](http://qeda.org/) format and generated for the CAD software.
the `library` folder contains the QEDA parts definitions.
to install QEDA using NPM from the official repository:
~~~
sudo npm install -g qeda
~~~
to install QEDA from the sources:
~~~
git clone https://github.com/qeda/qeda
cd qeda
npm install
sudo npm install --global
~~~
to generate the parts:
~~~
rake library
~~~
this will use the parts definition (.yaml files) in the `library` to generate [gEDA gschem](http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gaf)/[Lepton EDA](https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda) symbols (.sym files) in the `geda/symbols` folder, and [coralEDA pcb-rnd](http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/) footprints (.lht files) in the `coraleda/subc` folder.
only the QEDA parts in subfolders within `library` come from the [QEDA library](https://doc.qeda.org/library/), but the files are included in this project for simplicity and archiving purposes.
all other parts are custom and written for this project.
schematic
---------
the `.sch` file is the schematic source file.
it has been drawn using [Lepton EDA](https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda).
it uses standard symbols, and the ones in the `geda/symbols/` folder.
most symbols are generated by QEDA as described above.
