et voila


It pays to check the final footprint(s) in case the original author of the
kicad modules did some strange rotations of the pads, which sometimes don't
get parsed properly, especially if the module started off as an Eagle
footprint, since the commonly used Eagle2Kicad utility seems to
occasionally muff up some element rotations and arc conversions.

If people like the look of any particular kicad modules, I'm happy to do
the conversion. So far I've just been converting ones that look useful to
me, seem necessary for others, or look like good stress tests for the
conversion code.

Cheers,

Erich.
