Are KiCad sources available somewhere?

[AnthonyVH]

The README explains that all the ergogen code is based on KiCad footprints/symbols. It seems that these are not bundled though.

Would it be possible to make these available (or is there a straightforward way to extract them from the Ergogen files)?

I'm particularly interested in the Supermini NRF52840 and the Gateron KS33 hotswap sockets.

Those are both available in the marbastlib library, see here: https://github.com/ebastler/marbastlib/tree/main

that one is invaluable for anybody doing keyboards with kicad.

How about https://github.com/ceoloide/ergogen-footprints/blob/main/switch_choc_v1_v2.js and https://github.com/ceoloide/ergogen-footprints/blob/main/mounting_hole_plated.js please?

I'm using those with Ergogen v4.1.0 (thank you!), and have laid out my traces in KiCad v9.0.2 on macOS, then:

1. Menu "File", "Fabrication Outputs...", "Gerbers (.gbr)"
2. Click "Run DCR..." (button in bottom left)
3. Lots of warnings: The current configuration does not include the footprint library 'ceoloide'. (one warning per footprint used)

I guess I need to download KiCad versions of those, and tell KiCad about them here:

1. Menu "Preferences", "Manage Footprint Libraries..."
2. Add folder of .kicad_mod files (probably under the "Project Specific Libraries" tab)

You can safely ignore those warnings.

OK, thanks @jusdisgi
