22:55 Use FreeCAD to verify the genrated footprint is correct.
23:50 Check if the 3D model fits on the footprint.
24:03 Questions?|
24:50 What about adding a button in KiCad to automate the merge request?
26:20 Is a merge request for the YAML file sufficient, or do you wish merge requests for more?
27:44 Requirements for branches for making a merge request? (Make your own branch).
29:30 Add pictures (screenshot?) for easier verification.
29:55 Make sure your branch is clean. (Separate branch only for a single footprint merge request).
