Re: help in using my downloaded libraries

The ones I downloaded are .mod files and they still don't show up. I

I do not want to offend you, but have you spent a few time reading the documentation ? (help files)
You can also find some tutorials on the web.

Enjoy with Kicad.

Hello Dean,
Have you already added the downloaded libraries to the
&quot;Libs and Dirs" configuration in PCBNew?
