Learning KiCad lesson 1 - uploading footprints from SnapMagic?
Posted by armandine2 on 24 Feb, 2024 22:51 -
A bit of a rocky start following a 5 y.o. KiCad tutorial on line - as I am using the latest 8.0 version.
It appears I may need to upload my ICL7107 [44pin MQFP]. SnapMagic, the first on the list to offer this has a professional email wall - is this
purposely excluding hobbyists?

... not so difficult to register with the social media links - and the download is ok.
... now I have to add the symbol & footprint to the project and get it to open [if only google was not such a pita now
]

I'm a hobbyist and have had an account with them for over a year. Maybe they changed something?

...nobody is more surprised than me
it's the wrong chip, PDIP rather than MQFP - but hey ho
