PDF Drill Template File
The drill template file: arduino-mega-2560-drill-template.pdf To save, right-click the link and choose Save Link As (or similar menu item, depending on browser) from the menu that pops up.
Important: Be sure to print the drill template file using a 1:1 scale (or 100%), so that the template is not resized. After printing the template to a page, measure the 1cm or 1 inch markings to make sure that the page printed to scale.
Tip: The same drill templates can be found at the very back of the book after the index where they can be cut out and used as templates for drilling a base plate or for marking the mounting holes in an enclosure.
KiCad Template File
KiCad template file for Arduino MEGA 2560 and Arduino MEGA 2560 shield: arduino-mega-2560-kicad-template_1_0.zip
The KiCad template files were created using KiCad version 5.1.8 and need to be unzipped from the downloaded zip file before opening with KiCad. The template contains schematic and board files with the Arduino MEGA 2560 R3 header sockets and drill holes placed in the correct positions on the board – ready for starting a new shield or Arduino board project.
