82-second narrated tour: create an RP2040 symbol, hover pins to see tooltips, validate with adom-lbr, then send to KiCad 10 Symbol Editor and Fusion 360 Electronics.
Send to KiCad
One click from the viewer's Send to menu delivers the symbol directly to KiCad's Symbol Editor with all pins, properties, and group labels intact.
Send to Fusion 360
Delivers both the symbol and its EAGLE package as a .lbr file that Fusion Electronics opens natively.
