Hi,

I have a few library parts that I would like to submit to kicad.

HDC1080 A Texas Instruments temperature humidity sensor

RN4871 A microchip BLE module

AAT1217ICA A skyworks Micropower Synchronous Step-Up Converter

Sensor_Temperature_Texas_HDC Wireless_Ble_Microchip_RN Regulator_Boost_Skyworks_AAT
