kicad-libraries

KiCad libraries containing components and footprints used in electronics projects at YO6SSW.

Here's a quick guide of how to use the library in a project:

create project repository on github and clone it locally
go to the project directory and add the libraries submodule by running git submodule add http://github.com/benishor/kicad-libraries libraries
create schema and make sure to add the libraries/yo6ssw library to the list of existing libraries by opening EESchema and going to Preferences -> Component Libraries -> Add and selecting the path to your project's libraries/yo6ssw.lib file
in order to also use the library's footprints, you need to configure PcbNew to know about them. Open PcbNew, go to Preferences -> Footprint Library Wizard -> Files on my computer -> Next -> go to libraries/yo6ssw.pretty and add it to the project

Whenever you need to fetch existing library updates, perform the following in sequence:

go to the libraries subfolder
run git pull. This will update the library to its latest version.
get back to the project root and inform git that we would really like to use this current version of the library from now on by issueing a git add libraries and git commit followed by a git push
