Vladimir has very efficiently added it to the wiki al= ready!

Incidentally, there's an=C2=A0extensive= kicad library repository to be found at:

as well as:


There are= =C2=A0also=C2=A0default kicad libraries which go along with the kicad distr= ibution:


Cheers,

Have fun,

Yes, it's easy to get "distracted" when doing fun thin= gs.
