Hi Folks; I'm currently using the KiCad version KiCad 2010-05-05 BZR 2356. This uses EESchema-LIBRARY Version 2.3.
I'd greatly appreciate your insight. I'm learning about the KiCad symbol library format and have questions. 1) In reading a symbol definition, which name matters? the DEF record has a part name and the F1 record also has the part name. Is there a reason for it being there twice? 1) In reading the 74XX library I'm seeing pins being repeated. I suspect this is how the "DeMorgan equivalent" symbol is represented. But the second set of pins has an additional field that the first set does not have. For the 74LS08 I first see a record for pin one. X ~ 1 -450 0 300 R 60 60 1 1 I Then a little lower I see another record for the same pin. X ~ 1 -600 100 370 R 60 60 1 2 I I I'll keep on digging. Thanks in advance; Jonathan
