Installing

• Clone this repository
• Now there are two ways of installing: (Because KiCAD uses paths relative to "C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\modules\packages3d" or absolute path for 3D files, you would need to edit every package with specific path, it is easier to use system variable)
  • Create new system variable called "KI_JS_3DMOD" pointing to the 3D folder of cloned repository in system settings
  • OR run the Install.cmd file with Administator privileges
• Import library to KiCAD schematic/PCB editor
