## Overview

This repository is a learning-oriented collection of KiCad circuit and PCB designs, including power supplies, regulators, and an ESP32 design. Each node represents a project’s schematic; the tree also shows associated board files and, for some projects, manufacturing outputs. The README identifies KiCad as the design tool but does not describe connections between project files or circuit stages, so no schematic-to-board or circuit-flow edges are inferred.

Main entry points: [`5v_3v_regulator_circuit.kicad_sch`](https://github.com/shiv115singh/kicad_example_projects-/blob/main/5v_3v_regulator_circuit.kicad_sch) (5V–3V regulator), [`Voltage regulator/5V TO 3.3V VOLTAGE REGULATOR.kicad_sch`](https://github.com/shiv115singh/kicad_example_projects-/blob/main/Voltage%20regulator/5V%20TO%203.3V%20VOLTAGE%20REGULATOR.kicad_sch) (5V–3.3V regulator), [`LM2596/LM2596.kicad_sch`](https://github.com/shiv115singh/kicad_example_projects-/blob/main/LM2596/LM2596.kicad_sch) (LM2596 design), [`AC to DC Converter/AC_to_DC_Converter.kicad_sch`](https://github.com/shiv115singh/kicad_example_projects-/blob/main/AC%20to%20DC%20Converter/AC_to_DC_Converter.kicad_sch) (AC-to-DC converter)
