I am using the seeed ‘Open Parts Library’ (OPL): https://www.seeedstudio.com/opl.html
It is working great. However it looks like I still need to perform the footprint association manually. This is a bit sad, as all components also have their footprints defined in the seeed OPL, so doing it again by hand, instead of having an automatic association, is just one more source of errors.
Is there a way to get the footprint association for components in the OPL done automatically by KiCAD?
