Description
This replaces the prior version. I added a version, "*_040pins", with larger pin holes to allow for larger non-stackable pins. The prior version works perfectly with female stackable header pins but not with many regular male pins.
These are modules for both EESchema and PCBNew in KiCad. They will allow you to make PCBs that have the appropriate header positions for a Arduino shield. I adapted files I found on the KiCad yahoo group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/files/Library/ArduinoShield.ZIP posted by axtz4) adding a version for the MEGA.
I have found many Eagle librarys but very few for KiCad, I hope this encourages others to use this great tool and share more KiCad files.

This is awesome. Exactly what I needed for several items I'm working on. Thanks!
I think this should work for any operating system: http://code.google.com/p/opend...
I use ubuntu, where I have to copy the files?congratulations for the work

Hi, I expanded your library with a shield for Arduino Due. Would you like to have a look at it and perhaps post it on your website?
