2007/12/14, porrones_to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: hi to all! how can I upload a new library on kicadlib.org web site? thanks Hello, *Contribution to the improvement of the site* If you have created modules, components, diagrams or prints which you are ready to share for free with the community, you can send them to my address [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nevertheless it is necessary to take account of the some following details: 1. For safety reasons, all the executable files will be blocked by the provider, unfortunately the .LIB extension of the components library appears suspect at Google. *This even if it is Zipped!* I thus ask you to *zip the files .LIB*, and then change the *.ZIP*extension to *.ZI* (so they will be not scanned). 2. As is possible, separate the files by category (Microprocessors, connectors, etc...) 3. One small description of the contents of each file is welcome. (in text format). Thanks in advance for your contribution -- Danilo Uccelli CH-2400 Le Locle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[kicad-users] PS/2 Keyboard Female Connector
Hello all, Does anyone know whether there is a component for eeschema and a footprint for pcbnew, for a PS/2 Keyboard Female Connector? That should be a DIN-6 female connector. I can find a DIN-5 in the conn library, but I don't know which is the corresponding pcb footprint. Thanks in advance for any kind advice. Patrick
Re: [kicad-users] uploading a new library on kicad library site
Hello, I think it would be nice to have some kind of guidelines and good practices for creating Kicad Libraries. I only created a few components so far but it would be great if everybody could help increasing the available libraries. And to have some consistency, it would be necessary to have guidelines. A small tutorial could also be great to help newbies create components to right way and tell them how to share them. I would be glad to be able to contribute if I can have a way to control the quality of my library before submitting it. Things I wondered about are naming conventions, how to organize pins (mapping of the chip or grouping in a way that make more sense), what about the power pins, ... If someone is interested in this, I can do a list of all the questions I had, that can be a good start for creating guidelines. To ease contribution, can't we put all libraries on SVN, either the official kicad SVN or another one? I think there's already such a project started on sourceforge but without much contributions. There could be a submit section where everybody would have write access, then maintainers could push them in an official branch once they're sure they meet the guidelines. Well, that's a bit more complex than what I described but the main idea is to make it easy for anybody to contrinute by adding or improving components. David Bourgeois

Hi, Patrick You can use mini_din lib from http://library/oshec.org or the librarys from my site www.reniemarquet.cjb.net. In my site already the 3D model too. []'s Renie

[kicad-users] Footprint not found.
Hello all, I am new to this group, my name is Jos Raven. Since a few days I am getting my feet wet in using Kicad. I found a lot of converted libraries, original Eagle cad, and put them in the kicad structure. I found out how to get to the components in eeschema and they are in the netlist. However, reading in the netlist in pcbnew I get the message footprint not found . How can I correct this so that the footprint is usable in pcbnew? Any hints? Jos PA0AMX
