DNOTQ KiCAD Library

Parts and footprints used in DNOTQ designs.

To set up the library:

Clone the repository to whereever you want on your system.
Start KiCAD, select Preferences -> Configure Paths
Create a new Environment Variable called DNOTQLIB and set the path to where you cloned the repository:

Select Preferences -> Manage Symbol Libraries...
Click the + icon "Add empty row to table", then:
- Check the Active checkbox
- For the "Nickname" enter dnotq_library
- For the "Library Path" enter ${DNOTQLIB}/library/dnotq_kicad_library.kicad_sym
- For the "Library Format" select KiCad
- For the "Description" enter DNOTQ Symbols

Setting up the footprints is the same process as the symbols:

Select Preferences -> Manage Footprint Libraries...
Click the + icon "Add empty row to table", then:
- Check the Active checkbox
- For the "Nickname" enter dnotq_footprint
- For the "Library Path" enter ${DNOTQLIB}/dnotq.pretty
- For the "Library Format" select KiCad
- For the "Description" enter DNOTQ Footprints

All models for footprints use the ${DNOTQLIB} environment variable prefix, so all previews of boards using these parts should "just work" as expected.

Symbols and footprints from the libarary will use the dnotq_library and dnotq_footprint nicknames set in the steps above. This allows the entire library to be located or moved anywhere by simply changing the one ${DNOTQLIB} environment variable.
