KicED

Edwin and Kerem's KiCad library.

Procedure of restructuring KicED

1. Create structure which can be added as submoduse to any KiCAD project.
2. Document the process of implementeing the submodule
3. Document the process of adding (contributing) a new part.

1. How to use this library

This library is intended to be used as a git submodule inside a git version controlled KiCAD project.

1.1 Adding the library to your KiCAD Project

Go to the desired directory where you want to place the library submodule inside your project. Ther you add KicED as submodule with the following comand.

git submodule add https://git.keydev.me/Kerem/KicED

Then open your KiCAD project and go to Preferencesin the top left corner and select Manage Symbol Libraries....

TODO: explain how to incorperate library into KiCAD project

You will need to add the relative KicED paths with respect to your KiCAD project by using the environment variable ${KIPRJMOD}\<...>
