KiCad #4 - Adding the OSHW logo to your layout HD

Some time ago I made another version of the OSHW logo + a shell-script that allows convenient scaling to either metric or imperial dimensions and setting the layer to either top copper or top silkscreen. Flipping the logo to bottom copper or silkscreen is easily done in pcbnew itself. This video show where to get the files, how to create the scaled files ( assuming you run an OS that supports perl scripts (*) ), how to import them using the library editor, how to place them on the board and how to create a zone cutout on the top copper layer, so the logo is visible. (*) if you run the micro$oft OS, you can easily use a linux live-CD in a virtual machine (VirtualBox, VMWare...) and use the scale.sh script too. Or write your own, or switch to linux completely ;-) You can get the scripts on OSHWLOGO.COM (search for kicad scalable). You may also want to have a look at github.com/madworm/KiCad-Logos
