Manual panelizing of PCBs with tabs and mouse bites

#kicad #pcb #panelization
We will panelize a small simple breakout board manually in KiCad using the tabs and mouse bites method. An open-source panelization footprint will be used to add the mouse bites, and then we will append the board to create an array of PCBs that can fit within the manufactured board.
