How to use

If you want to use the libraries follow theese steps:

  1. Clone the git-repo into an accessible folder
  2. Open KiCAD
  3. Go to "Preferences" -> "Manage Symbol Libraries..."
  4. You can choose between creating a global or project specific library entry (I would suggest global, so that you can use the libraries in future projects)
  5. Hit the "+" button
  6. As "Nickname" enter "ET-Symbols"
  7. In "Library Path" hit the "folder" button to browse your filesystem
  8. Select the "ET-Symbols.kicad_sym" file in /Library
  9. Hit "OK" this might take a few seconds
  10. Repeat 3. to 9. using "Manage Footprint Libraries". Use "ET-Footprints" as nickname and select the "ET-Footprints.pretty" folder as library path

Now you should be able to use the libaries as expected in KiCAD
