   There doen't seem to be a way to see the maple schematics in the documentation I used to go to the place where the .sch and .brd files were but now I can't find the link.

   The repositories have been reorganized, but all the Maple schematics are still in the "Maple" github repo:

   https://github.com/leaflabs/maple

   The current version is in the "r5" directory. Confusingly, the Maple Mini schematics are also in the Maple repo, but we'll be breaking those out into their own repository when we get around to it. The current version of Maple Native (which is still undergoing changes) is here:

   The "Download" button works for me. Do you have javascript disabled? You should be able to click the "Download" button, then choose (from the resulting popup window) either the .tar.gz or the .zip option, depending on what you want. That will download the files in the repository in archive form, which you can then unpack/unzip.

   If you want to use git to clone the repository in order to keep track of any changes you make, you can do the same thing you did when you got a copy of libmaple:

   $ git clone git@github.com:leaflabs/maple.git

   If you are new to git and would like to learn more, I personally have found the following resources valuable:

   Pro Git:

   Git for Computer Scientists:

   Thank you for the suggestion to improve the documentation. I agree that the docs should clearly state how to access the hardware design files; we'll make sure to make that happen.

   OK, I've added a "Board Hardware Documentation" section to http://leaflabs.com/docs. The "Maple" page on that section, http://leaflabs.com/docs/hardware/maple.html, incorporates the suggestions you've made in this thread.

   The docs mainpage has also been reorganized so as not to nest tables of contents, which we think improves readability.

   Thanks for the feedback; we really want the Maple to have great documentation, so it's nice to hear concrete suggestions for what can be improved.

   thank you the maple community is great nice support and quick responce.
   Hopefuly me adding the maple r5 design as a herarchal schematic kicad would make this a better design so it could be plugged into hardware designs like open source software.
