I am a new user. I was recently reading, watching, and learning, and noticed that the internal global libraries that ship with ver 5.1.12 has been updated many times since then. I reviewed this page:
The info half way down the above page says it is for version 5 libraries.
= = = =
KiCad 5.x
KiCad 5.x libraries are available for download at https://kicad.github.io. Library data are provided as compressed archives.
Schematic symbols: https://kicad.github.io/symbols
PCB footprints: https://kicad.github.io/footprints
3D models: https://kicad.github.io/packages3d
= = = =
But when you select the
links to download a master.zip for symbols or footprints, etc, the readme inside says they are for
KiCad version 6. Clearly I am missing something obvious, since I have tried several times to re-read
the page, go to the links, and figure out how to select an entire zip file of the latest symbol and footprint
libs for VERSION 5. ??
Can anyone help this confused new user?
Thanks,
Neal
