Easy - KiCad Symbol, Footprint and 3D Model!

Easy is more than appropriate for this video. I came across this very handy tool "easyeda2kicad". Very handy if you want some PCBs from https://www.PCBWay.com/?from=atomic

You can find the tool here: https://github.com/uPesy/easyeda2kica...

It's a really nice tool that will download EasyEDA models from LCSC and load them into KiCad.

Pretty handy!

In the video I'm using an ESP32 module for the demo - but there is an official KiCad library already with some really nice 3D models. https://github.com/espressif/kicad-li...

The only slightly annoying thing is that the 3D models are VRML so if you want them included in your PCB's 3D model you need to export in that format. Freecad (https://www.freecad.org/) seems to handle this quite nicely, so it's not the end of the world. And if you can load it into Blender and export as Wavefront obj files for Fusion360.
