KiCad footprints / libraries for Espruino

I've been doing a project and iterating it on veroboards, and I was thinking of trying out designing a PCB for it.

I've tried searching for it, but it I wasn't able to find any libraries nor footprints for the MDBT42q breakout. Would anyone happen to have one from a project they had? Or any tips for a beginner at KiCad?

Ah, it seems I can import eagle libraries into kicad with a plugin https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoBoard/blob/master/MDBT42/mdbt42.lbr I'll try this one out as well :)

Cool - yeah, I'd be amazed if you couldn't import Eagle to kicad pretty well since it's all text-based. I'm surprised it's not in there by default.
