KiCad conversions¶
Generated 2026-10-05 by tools/eagle_to_kicad_all.py: every System-5 Eagle design with a Fusion XML export (eagle/<rev>/fusion-export/) converted to a KiCad 10 project in the matching kicad/<rev>/ folder. The Eagle files remain the record of what was built; these projects are derived and regenerated from scratch by the tool. Proof = the schematic netlist extracted by KiCad compared pad-for-pad with the netlist embedded in the imported Eagle board (tools/kicad/compare_netlists.py). Each project's README has the details and the residual ERC/DRC counts.
Overlaps = tools/kicad/sch_overlaps.py over all sheets: text/text + text/body + text/line collisions, and items off the drawing frame.

Redrawn schematics (2026-10-26)¶
Every card in the machine (and the 2026 boards) also has a readable, block-by-block schematic drawn from its proven board netlist, in <card>/kicad/<rev>/schematic/: its own KiCad project and PDF, proven pin for pin against the board netlist. The boards are untouched. Tool and status: tools/kicad/sch/README.md.
New boards¶
- Bus backplane Rev D (S5BUS-D), 2026-10-26:
bus/kicad/rev-d/, generated (gen/), not converted from Eagle.
Hand-maintained masters (not generated; MASTER marker file)¶
memory/kicad/rev-e— Rev D as a 4-layer board (MEM3-E); see its README.memory/kicad/rev-d= the scrap boards as ordered 2026-10-09video-6845/kicad/rev-b— Ken's working card (2005 Rev B), set to 2 layers, part values (IC8 = 74LS163), labels and JLCPCB order files (2026-10-08)
