Hi Paolo, I eventually drew my own footprints for the ZM1130 (and other components). The option to draw footprints turned out to be hidden somewhere in KiCad. I am now about to have the PCB produced and when it all works out I want to share my footprints. Any suggestions, github?
Thanks for your help though, and indeed, it takes quite some time but it looks like it's all worthwhile, Hatse On Jan 3, 2017 18:52, "Paolo Cravero" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Hatse, > have you found some interesting footprint for KiCad? > > It turns out that yesterday I installed KiCad and gave it a try.
