Has anyone done any flex cable design in #KiCad?
I'm just thinking about a future project. I'd like to make a #Psion Series 3a/c/mx ribbon cable. I know places like PCBWay and JLCPCB will make them.
The second thing to go on a SIBO PDA is the ribbon cable (the first being, of course, the hinges). I think we need an open source one.

@thelastpsion do you even need to manufacture a bespoke one for that case? from the picture it looks like it's just a straight pin connector, wouldn't getting a generic flat cable of the same pitch work here?
@mavica_again The ones in the later models (3c/3mx) are slightly different - they have a notch near one end that keeps the cable in place. But you do make a good point.
