-## Submodules
-
-This repo uses submodules aoKicad and Kosmo_panel, which provide needed libaries for KiCad. To clone:
-
-```
-git clone git@gitlab.com:rsholmes/precadsr.git
-git submodule init
-git submodule update
-```
-
-Alternatively do
-
-```
-git clone --recurse-submodules git@gitlab.com:rsholmes/precadsr.git
-```
-
-Or if you download the repository as a zip file, you must also click on the "aoKicad" and "Kosmo\_panel" links on the GitHub page (they'll have "@ something" after them) and download them as separate zip files which you can unzip into the aoKicad and Kosmo\_panel directories.
-
-If desired, copy the files from aoKicad and Kosmo\_panel to wherever you prefer (your KiCad user library directory, for instance, if you have one). Then in KiCad, add symbol libraries 
-
-```
-aoKicad/ao_symbols
-Kosmo_panel/Kosmo
-```
-and footprint libraries 
-```
-aoKicad/ao_tht
-Kosmo_panel/Kosmo_panel.
-```
