Re: Searching for an existing footprint

Hi John, just learn how to make your own footprints. It is dead simple. Just take any simple footprint, rename it and save it to your own library. Then move the pads, resize the pads and change the contour lines in the silkscreen and optionally fab and courtyard layes. Or just go to the Digikey or Mouser website, they have schematic symbols, footprints and 3D models of most of their parts. If not, there are probably tons of youtube videos how to make Kicad footprints.

What is the best way to search the hundreds of existing footprints for a particular arrangement of pins? Just a 3-pin symbol, nothing complicated.
