Tom, It wasn't the libraries (well, in a way it was, but...). All the single files I'd downloaded were corrupt. When I downloaded the all-inclusive zip file, I was able to open the .pro file and eeschema was able to open the .sch files successfully. I did have to move the libraries to the libra

you need to import the libraries first you put them into the same directory where your other libraries are ( i say it that way cuz i use linux and you use M$ i dunno where M$ puts stuff ) then all the file can be used from where you unzipped Mark's package those files dont need to be anywhere sp

Mark, I did an 'archive' of the main project from KiCAD and it created a zip file. I committed that zip file to github, so maybe you can try that and then open the project file?? Also, making sure you have the libraries will be key to seeing the components. I would try the AnilamToLinuxCNC-cach

I'm new to KiCAD and learning how to get around it. There is a library file in the project directory called AnilamToLinuxCNC-cache.lib. I'm only guessing, but my hope would be that file has the library components in it for the project. I wonder if adding only that to your library folder would ha
