Re: official web page

 

Hi Maurice,

here is the HackRF board with 3D models
http://www.mrkindustries.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/hackrf-one.zip

Most of the footprits are from Walter (smisioto), and located
in /usr/share/kicad/modules/packages3d/walter/

Ping me if there is something missing, I didn't try to open the project in
a different PC.

Have fun, I'm keen to see the result
