You may have noticed something like this when viewing old ISC projects:

To fix this and view the projects normally follow these steps:

  1. Make sure all the repositories are installed properly on your machine.
  2. Make sure you have pulled the latest changes.
    • Run git pull and git submodule update in the command line on Git Bash.
  3. Change directories to the Library submodule
    • Run cd Libraries/
  4. Checkout the tag: v5_libs
    • Run git checkout v5_libs
  5. Restart KiCad for the changes to take effect
  6. When opening the schematic it might come up with a warning saying a library cache file was not found
    • Disregard this and click load without cache file


All done now the projects should be looking like this:
