Bugfix or Enhancement
Incomplete design assets
Description
The following pcb designs in kicad reference libraries that are private ones to stephens user id.
x-y limit switch two references to step files for the limit switches
Errors were encountered loading footprints:
Footprint library '/Users/stephen/lumenpnp/lib/kicad/index.pretty' not found.
There are also a couple of local references in the mobo design.
I haven't checked all of the PCB designs
There are also a lot of references to a local library e.g.
model "${KIPRJMOD}/../../../lib/kicad/index.3dshapes/Littelfuse-Nano2-154.wrl"
List of references in mobo design:

Which I think means we don't have those either
Opening the mobo project pcd, the first thing we see is
If I look at the 3d view of the circuit board I don't see any of the connectors for example. eg
Suggested Solution
Publish the footprint/3D assets which are not in standard libraries in github so that they can be downloaded and added to users configurations of kicad. It would also be useful to have a brief description on how to set up kicad to reference these resources
The references are present in the repository but the links appear to be incorrect, the files live in https://github.com/opulo-inc/lumenpnp/tree/rev05-mobo/lib/kicad.
Though the one reference with @sphawes name in it, that should be converted over to using ${KIPRJMOD} based reference links.
Thanks for the update Mike, I hadn't appreciated the assets were already there. There are two stephen references in the x-y limit switch pcb as there are two different switch types.
I'll download the kicad library - thanks again
