Hellen-One modules, correct way to kicad

[Bruno Ferreira]

Hello everyone, once again annoying but maybe this topic will help other people to understand how it really works.
The part about creating a kicad project and importing it to github I already understand. After reaching the end of git actions without errors I've also overcome that part, but now what I really don't understand is how to make the scheme recognize the modules and when updating the PCB it doesn't show errors that it didn't find any hellen thing or even other components.
I know the problem is in the library, but the question is how to correctly configure the Hellen library in our Kicad on our PC.
I think this topic should be well explained from A to Z of how to do it.
Thank you all.

"fork https://github.com/rusefi/hellen-example/ repo to get github actions and meta files" have you done that? What is the URL of your fork?

"make sure github actions are enabled/enable github actions on your fork" have you done that?

"replace xxx and yyy in revision.txt with name of your board" have you done that?

etc.

Hello AndreyB.
I already did this step. The problem is actually recognizing the modules.
My Github: ECU-tech
Repository: ECU-techPorsche88

What is the URL of your fork?

Please word this differently I am not sure what you mean

Have you cloned your repo locally? In your clone on your PC do you have files inside "hellen-one" folder?

I see a board without any hellen modules

Do you have power_12and5V.kicad_sym file on your PC? Is your question how to use power_12and5V.kicad_sym in KiCAD?

I forked hellen example. Follow the steps of xxx and yyy. I created a kicad project. I copied the schematic and the hellen88bmw board for my project. I copied the project to my github. So far so good.

I don't have any rusefi or Hellen-one library on my PC. And the question from the beginning is how to make the modules and the rest of the components of a hellen board recognized in my project.

The components you see on the board are the only ones that are updated from the schematic to the PCB without errors. The rest cannot be found because of the path of each component or module of the hellen or kicad6 library .

This is one of the examples I am referring to.

I have the submodules. But not on Kicad project

I see a contradiction between your messages?

Sorry for the misunderstanding but I wanted to say that it was not in the kicad project.

[Bruno Ferreira]

It is in the repository but the problem is that when you open the project in kicad and go to the schematic and if you select a module and check the properties, the path to the hellen library of that module appears but it does not exist in my library.

I would suggest talking to people who got it working on Discord, it's time for someone to remote into your PC.
