57 Importing Digi-Key Library into KiCad 8.0 and using in Project.

To import the Digi-Key library into KiCad, you can follow these general steps:
1. Download the Digi-Key Library:
- Visit the Digi-Key GitHub repository for the KiCad library: github.com/Dig...
- Click on the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP" to download the library files to your computer.
2. Extract the Library Files:
