Examples
The example projects: what each one shows, and a zip of each to download.
Each example is a folder you can open in VS Code as it is. Download one, unzip it, open the folder and click the
.kicad_sch or .kicad_pcb file. The same folders are in examples/ of the extension’s repository.

| Folder | What it shows |
|---|---|
sample-project | Blinky, an NE555 LED blinker: two schematic sheets, two documentation sheets, a routed 2-layer board with a GND plane, fabrication outputs and a thermal overlay. The first file to open. |
sim-rc | An RC low-pass for the simulator: a sine source, .tran and .ac directives on the sheet. |
system-sample | A multi-board system: the blinky main board and a sensor board joined by a cable; the pin-count mismatch is deliberate, for the system ERC. |
rigid-flex-sample | A rigid-flex board: two rigid 4-layer parts joined by a polyimide flex tail that folds twice. |
blocks | Reuse blocks: a hierarchical sheet with its layout. |
tools | Four worked custom tools, each with its script, a README and a settings snippet. |
addon-sample | A VS Code extension that extends the Electronics Designer through the add-on API. |
router-sample | A router provider for autorouting. |
