How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
Lesser General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301
USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random
Hacker.

## Schematic Compatibility Between Similar Components ## KiCad Version Compatibility
This library requires at least KiCad 6 to function, and is tested on KiCad versions 6.0.8 and 7.0.2. Note that the installation procedure is different for KiCad 6 and 7; please see the [Library Installation](#library-installation) section below.
The schematic components in this library have been specifically laid out such that chips with similar function and purpose will have compatible/equivalent pins in the same position, and incompatible pins will not overlap. This means it should be easy to replace one similar component with another, with minimal or no re-wiring; it also means that such a replacement should not result in a signal being routed to an incompatible pin by accident.
For example, if you were creating a design with the 6502 part, but then decided to replace it with a 6512 part, the phase 0 and phase 2 pins are in the same location because they have compatible functionality, but the phase 1 pins are not because on the 6512 it is an input, whilst on the 6502 it is an output.
## Compatibility with KiCad 5
This library is in the new KiCad 6 "S-Expressions" format, and is not compatible with KiCad 5. If you need compatibility with KiCad 5, please use version 1.0.0 of this repository - but be aware that said version does not contain all features and is not being maintained.

## License ## Library Installation
Copyright 2018-2022, Nicholas Parks Young. All Rights Reserved. To install this library in your copy of KiCad, choose the correct section for your version of KiCad and follow the steps given. These instructions only cover automated installation using KiCad's built-in Package and Content Manager (PCM); manual installation is possible but not supported.
This library is licensed under the GNU LGPL v2.1, which can be found in file LICENSE.txt.
### KiCad 7
1. Download the `6502-kicad-library-3.0.0-pcm.zip` library file from the [Releases page](https://github.com/Alarm-Siren/6502-kicad-library/releases), and save it somewhere you'll be able to find it easily.
2. Open KiCad and open the Preferences window at "Preferences" -> "Preferences..."
3. Select the "Plugin and Content Manager" section in the left-hand pane.
4. Ensure that the "Automatically add installed libraries to the global lib table" option is ticked.
5. Ensuring that the "Library nickname prefix" is set to "PCM_" is recommended. **(Optional)**
6. Ensuring that the "Check for package updates on startup" option is ticked is recommended. **(Optional)**
7. Click "OK" to close the Preferences window.
8. Click the "Plugin and Content Manager" button.
9. Select the "KiCad official repository" from the top drop-down box (if not already selected).
9. Go the Libraries tab and locate the "KiCad Library for Arduino Modules" in the list.
10. Click the "Install" button for that entry in the list.
11. Click "Apply Pending Changes".
12. Close the "Applying Package Changes" window once it has finished.
13. You should now find that this library is listed in the "Installed" tab.
14. Close the Plugin and Content Manager.
15. You may need to restart KiCad for the library installation to fully take effect. **(Optional)**
16. All done: you are now ready to use these schematic components and footprints in your projects!
### KiCad 6

## Library Setup ## FAQ Placeholder
To add this library to your KiCad Project, do the following steps:
1. Copy the source files "65xx.kicad_sym" to the root of your KiCad project's folder. No-one has asked any questions about this library yet. If they do so, this section will be updated.
2. In Schematic Editor go to the "Preferences" -> "Manage Symbol Libraries..." menu option.
3. In the Symbol Libraries dialogue that appears, switch to the "Project Specific Libraries" tab.
4. Click "Add empty row to table" button (the button with a big cross in it, beneath the table).
5. In the new line of the table, set Library Path to "${KIPRJMOD}\65xx.kicad_sym" on Windows or "${KIPRJMOD}/65xx.kicad_sym" on Linux/Mac, and ensure Plugin Type is "KiCad".
6. You can leave the Options and Description fields blank. You should set Nickname to something descriptive - for example, "65xx library".
7. All done: you are now ready to use these schematic components in your project!
