## Overview

This is a KiCad hardware-design repository for the PROVES Kit antenna top-cap board, not a software runtime. The principal workflow is to edit a board revision in KiCad, drawing on its component libraries, and use its JLCPCB production artifacts for fabrication. The README documents v1a’s consolidated EPS connector and v2’s revised antenna feed, balun, and debug connectors. The tree and excerpts show directories and library samples, but not the board documents themselves, so internal schematic/layout wiring cannot be established.

Main entry points: [`antenna_top_cap_v2`](https://github.com/proveskit/antenna-board/tree/main/antenna_top_cap_v2) (V2 board), [`antenna_top_cap_v2/jlcpcb/gerber`](https://github.com/proveskit/antenna-board/tree/main/antenna_top_cap_v2/jlcpcb/gerber) (Gerbers), [`antenna_top_cap_v2/jlcpcb/production_files`](https://github.com/proveskit/antenna-board/tree/main/antenna_top_cap_v2/jlcpcb/production_files) (Production files), [`antenna_top_cap_board_v1a`](https://github.com/proveskit/antenna-board/tree/main/antenna_top_cap_board_v1a) (V1a board)
