Acheron MXH "metal rings" KiCad footprint library

Introduction

Acheron MXH "metal rings" is the AcheronProject's library for MX footprint switches using Kailh hotswap sockets (part number CPG151101S11) with metallized rings around the socket connector holes. The footprints were independently developed using the MX switch datasheet and the Kailh hotswap sockets datasheet.

How to use

1. Clone the git repository into a libraries folder inside your KiCad project main folder, also known was ${KIPRJMOD}
2. In PCBNEW, go into Preferences > Manage Footprint Libraries... then under the Project tab, press the plus sign and select the acheron_MXH_metalrings.pretty folder.
3. After that the library footprints should be available for addition in the PCB layout from the Add a footprint button. Click that button or press O and try adding a footprint from the library like the MXH100 footprint.
