KiCadLibA Device and Footprint Library for KiCad |
Build Date: 2011-present
|
This is a collection of electronic device symbols and footprints for KiCad which is used by other projects on open-project.ch.
Please leave a comment, if you find this library useful!
Download
The library can be downloaded from github at http://github.com/open-project/kicadlibrary
Be aware that the latest version of KiCad uses different internal units (mm instead of deci-mills) and thus footprints designed in the latest version are incompatible with older versions. Therefore, two branches exist in the git repository: master for the latest KiCad version, deci-mills for older versions.
By default you clone the master branch. If you want the deci-mills branch, do one of the following
1) clone the branch that you want directly (e.g. when you clone the repo for the first time):
git clone -b deci-mills https://github.com/open-project/kicadlibrary.git
2) clone the master branch and then switch to the branch you want (e.g. when you have cloned the repo before):
git clone https://github.com/open-project/kicadlibrary.git cd kicadlibrary git checkout deci-mills git pull

Thanks for the library. I am having issues with micro usb footprint. There is no contacts or anything like that. Could you check that.
tnx
Hi Hibbou,
great to hear that you are using the library. I’ve just checked, and for me everything looks good (see screenshot here). I’ve actually successfully used this footprint for a couple of fabricated PCBs without ever having any problems. I’m currently using the testing version of KiCAD. Which version are you using?
Cheers,
Tobias
Yes it was version issue. I had been using version wich is available for Ubuntu. After upgrading everything seems so much better
thanks
The problem is that the new version of KiCAD used mm as internal units, whereas the old version uses deci-mills. Therefore, a module made with the new version is not backwards compatible anymore.
I’ve thus created the branch ‘deci-mills’ on the git repository which contains currently the last version of the library that used deci-mills as unit.
Hope that helps.

Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, I also can not use MICRO-USB-B mod. after clone this git repository, I can not find any branch.
Hi,
as previously mentioned, there are two branches in the git repository. When you clone a git repository, by default you clone the
masterbranch (which in this case containsmmunits). To get another branch (deci-mills, which contains the old units), you can do one of the following1) clone the branch that you want directly:
git clone -b deci-mills https://github.com/open-project/kicadlibrary.git2) clone the master branch and then switch to the branch you want:
git clone https://github.com/open-project/kicadlibrary.gitcd kicadlibrary
git checkout deci-mills
git pull
You can also display all branches with this command
git branch -aFor further informations, have a look at the great book ProGit. You can find an online version here: http://git-scm.com/book
I hope this helps,
Tobias
