KiCad Libraries

Miscellaneous
1

Looking for Libraries with Midibox parts. Anybody got some they want to share?

I have tried to make some of my own, with some limited success, but it is time consuming.

I actually found an Eagle to KiCad converter ULP (haven’t tried it yet) on the cadsoft.de  website, maybe I should make them in eagle and convert? I really need the unlimited board size of KiCad, but am so much faster in EAGLE…

KiCad is a slow learner for me some things are really wierd at first, like rotating a part after it has been set, I kept trying to pick up the part and rotate it, but all you need to do is hover the mouse over it and press R. Actually sensible, but very different than anything else I have used…

All the eagle libs are preconverted and available online.

Here have my bookmarks:

PS: Did you know you can copy a bookmarks folder in FF, and it will paste all the links for all the bookmarks in that folder? How convenient!

Please ignore this reply.

I’m only posting so I can find this thread more quickly.

You could have added a tag!?

Yes, I could have added a tag.

Maybe I should have added a tag.

But it would have to be a tag like “Hey /tilted/, read this again and again”… otherwise it just wouldn’t work for me.

Coulda shoulda woulda.

Whoa.

Hey Stryd, did you know it also works the other way!!

Copy a slab of text containing web links and paste into the bookmark library [ctrl+shift+B], and it slams all those links in there for you!

Alas, the page names are not saved with the paste, so all the names are displayed as http://www… etc.

Sweet!

Or use Add bookmark. You can click the link there, or the one at the bottom of any page. It won’t add it to your browser, it adds it to the forum, and then you can see your bookmarks by visiting http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?action=bookmarks

Twin-X: The ‘My bookmarks’ link has disappeared :frowning:

Thanks.

Since picking up this little tip, I’ve got quite a little collection of bookmarks going, several of which are because the only way I can access them is to add a new one!!

(Actually, I am repeatedly deleting the unused ones, but this is a PITA to do…  ::slight_smile: )
