As discussed in https://github.com/jakkra/ZSWatch-HW/issues/77, i hope I havent missed anything, though as i dont have much comparison it is maybe difficult to see it most of it for me.

I havent cleaned-up 100% of the not-used components. i think some of the Bosch ones are still in there. Also i havent changed the name of the LGA footprint library, because i dont think there is a risk of a conflict, though i also dont know what happens if now something with exactly the same name will be added.

i dont know why, but on my other computer the 3D models did not work with the new pathes. On the computer i usually use, it worked without any problem. KiCAD version is identical, just the folder where the project lies is different, which should not have any influence as the project path is used for it.

Regarding 1) still not decided i think. Can be done later i think or when the use-case comes in place.

What do you mean with "new path"? The new path format? If so please try to avoid it because I had issues with it in the past too.

i think previous it was the KICAD_LIBRARY env-variable and there it would the 3d files. In the pcb i changed the pathes now to use ${KIPRJMOD} (e.g. ${KIPRJMOD}/library/3D/u-blox/NORA-B1x6.stp). --> Update: Just realized that exactly this important change i havent pushed until 5 seconds ago

I tried it on my company notebook with portable KiCAD and there it works too. dont know what's wrong on the other installation, because i first though that KiCAD does not allow the variables for the 3D Models, because I found reports in the KiCAD board about this (mostly v6 problems).
