Description
Per this link: https://community.element14.com/products/pcbprototyping/f/forum/53319/symbols-and-footprint-support-for-arduino-in-kicad-7-x
The user has experienced spurious warnings from the DRC checker that the silkscreen thickness of the text is too small. This is not a bug per se, however as the default DRC in Kicad 7 requires silkscreen height of at least 0.8mm and thickness of at least 0.08mm - it will cause novice users less confusion if the footprint's silkscreen text is always at least this big. Currently, some of the silkscreen text is 0.5mm / 0.075mm .
This bug is known at affect AT LEAST the Mega2560_R3 footprint; it is likely to affect all footprints but as yet only the Mega2560_R3 has been checked.
Note this bug only affects Kicad 7, as the relevant feature of the DRC tool does not exist in Kicad 6.
