This is a recurring question.
Search for V-cut and pcb mouse bites.
Both methods snap apart.
Which leads to my older thread:
Every now and then a question about multiple PCB projects pop up on this forum, and usually the answer is that this is not implemented in KiCad.
So I’ve been toying with this idea in my head of making a hierarchy of projects.
The Idea is that each PCB has it’s own project, but there is also a project that binds them all.
So today I did an experiment and documented it, and it seems to work quite well.
This it not meant to be a totorial for people new to KiCad, so stuff like Footprint assignme…
But as long as the projects are easy to split, then just using two separate projects is probably the best way. You can also export a 3D model of the “Sensor PCB” and use that for the bigger PCB.
