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.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
