I am trying to assign footprints to my schematic. When I open Cvpcb I get this error message https://i.imgur.com/Rz9VhUi.png and then this error message https://i.imgur.com/WNBBPdj.png I think the problem is the double forward slash after modules, but I am not sure. How do I fix this?
This is strange. Your fp-lib-table seems to be setup for local libs.
(A default install has no local footprint libs. Don’t get me wrong a local setup would be better for most users but only if done correctly.)
As you already guessed the path in the error message can not exist. The problem is that either your path variables or your fp-lib-table have wrong information.
- find the information of path variables in kicad main window->preferences->configure paths
- Find the content of the fp-lib-table via pcb_new->preferences->footprint library manager
So if the entry of the affected libs uses a path variable (${NAME_OF_PATH_VARIABLE}) that ends in a “/” and it has a “/” directly after “}” then this is the problem. (Remove the “/” after “}” in the lib manager.)
Or you can just do a complete reset of the fp-libs
