Hi Karel!

Thank you for your question. Is it this specific part you're having trouble importing, or KiCad parts in general?

We created this video tutorial to show how to import parts into KiCad. Let us know if you run into any issues and we're happy to help further.

This is a really weak video tutorial. Without a voice over, you have to keep starting and stopping to write down the steps. Is there a better tutorial on adding a part and importing a library? Or better yet, step by step instructions?

Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see if our team can add some audio to the video. In the meantime, there are step by step text instructions here to import into KiCad: www.snapeda.com/about/import/#kicad

Thanks SnapEDA Admin, for the quick reply. Yes, I found that link after I came here and copied the directions to a blank sheet of paper. The steps do not line up with the KiCAD menus. For example, "Open PcbNew" should be something like "Click Tools, Run PcbNew."

Anyway, I don't think it is SnapEDA as much as it is KiCAD's not-so-intuitive menu structure and that I am brand new to KiCAD. I keep losing the parts that I download. SnapEDA is a great resource. When I get the steps down cold, I will post a list in this community.
