# void_switch_kicad
Kicad files for making an analog hall effect keyboard PCB using 3D printed Void Switches.

**NOTE:** These files were made for use with Kicad 6.

## How to use these files
Open up Kicad and add the `footprints` directory to your project's footprint libraries...

![Manage Footprint Libraries](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/riskable/void_switch_kicad/main/assets/images/prefs_footprints.png)

Click the folder icon to add a new path

![Click the folder icon](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/riskable/void_switch_kicad/main/assets/images/add_footprint_path1.png)

Navigate to your clone of this repo's `footprints` directory and click "Open"

Change the name to "VoidSwitch" so it'll be easier to use/find

Now do the same thing for the Void Switch and "49e" (linear hall effect sensor) symbol libraries

![Add the symbol libraries](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/riskable/void_switch_kicad/main/assets/images/add_symbols1.png)

Now you should be able to use all the Void Switch footprints/symbols and hall effect sensor symbol in your own Kicad project.

## Will be posting tutorial videos soon!
