# willdurand-kicad-libs

## Installation

1. Get a local copy of this repository (_e.g._, `/path/to/kicad_libs/willdurand-kicad-libs`)
2. Import the `*.kicad_sym` files as Global or Project Symbol Libraries in _Eeschema_
3. Import the `*.pretty` files as Global or Project Footprint Libraries in _Pcbnew_
4. Configure a new 3d shape alias named `willdurand-kicad-libs` that points to `/path/to/kicad_libs/willdurand-kicad-libs` in _Pcbnew_

## Usage

This repository contains several libraries. Each library provides several
symbols along with their footprints. Some symbols have 3D shapes too! 3D shapes
have been created with [OpenSCAD](https://www.openscad.org/) and transformed
into `.step` files using [FreeCAD](https://www.freecadweb.org/) (_via_ `.csg`
files).
