Repository Deprecated

This is an archive of the kicad-library repository for historical reasons. KiCad no longer uses GitHub; all source code and library development takes place on GitLab. Please check the official KiCad website for more information about contributing to the libraries: https://www.kicad.org/libraries/contribute/

Archive - KiCad Libraries

This repository is separated into three folders, named library, template and modules.

  1. library contains the symbols for making schematics.
  2. template contains project templates from where you can start off, as well as the fp-lib-tables, which are a list specifying where to find each footprint library. These are the other repositories ending in ".pretty".
  3. modules includes the 3D drawing of footprints in the subdirectory "packages3d"

Before you start making your symbols and 3D models which can included in KiCad-Library repository, you have to be familiar with the content of two documents, also available as files in the repository:

  1. KiCad Library Convention which is a set of rules and guidelines you should take into account when creating Your work.
  2. How To Contribute to know what steps should be taken to properly prepare a Pull Request, which will be dealt with by one of the librarians.

These Wiki pages can be edited directly only by the KiCad Library owners and maintainers.

If you are not a member and want to add or edit something please clone Wiki pages to your Git repository and prepare merge request. Your request will be reviewed and included as soon as possible.
