Because I went down the rabbit hole, and wanted to use micro-controllers I already had and wasn't doing anything with.
I personally could not find an existing footprint (there is a chance I did not look hard enough lol) so I decided to make my own.
The current collection is as follows:
pipicow.js
-Raspberry Pi Pico W
I may or may not add more, but additions are welcome.
There is a great guide that describes how to use ergogen with external footprints here.
But in a nutshell, the following steps can be taken:
- Install ergogen via
npm i -g ergogen
- In the same directory as
config.yaml
, copy or move any external footprints to./footprints/
- Generate KiCad files with
ergogen .
, providing the project directory as the only argument
