Part creator for KiCad.
Project description
Generate multi-unit schematic symbols for KiCad from a CSV file.
Free software: MIT license
Documentation: https://kipart.readthedocs.org.
Features
Generates schematic part libraries for KiCad from CSV files.
Converts lists of pins in a CSV file into a multi-unit schematic part symbol.
Converts multiple CSV files stored in .zip archives.
Each row of the CSV file lists the number, name, type, style, unit and side of a pin.
Pins on a unit with the same name (e.g., GND) are placed at the same location so they can all be tied to the same net with a single connection.
History
0.1.6 (2015-08-13)
Fuzzy string matching is now used for the column headers.
Choice-type options are now case-insensitive.
Bumped version number.
0.1.5 (2015-07-29)
Multiple parts can now be described in a single CSV file.
Added function and option for reading Cypress PSoC5LP CSV files.
Simplified key generators for sorting pins by name or number.
Improved ordering of pins by name.
Bumped version number.
0.1.4 (2015-07-27)
Added option for approximate (fuzzy) matching for pin types, styles and orientations (sides).
0.1.3 (2015-07-26)
Multiple pins with the same name are now hidden by reducing their pin number size to zero (rather than enabling the hidden flag which can cause problems with power-in pins).
0.1.2 (2015-07-24)
Symbols can now have pins on any combination of left, right, top and bottom sides.
Added option to append parts to an existing library.
Refactored kipart routine into subroutines.
Added documentation.
0.1.1 (2015-07-21)
Fixed calculation of pin name widths.
Made CSV row order the default for arranging pins on the schematic symbol.
Fixed sorting key routine for numeric pin numbers.
Spaces are now stripped between fields in a CSV file.
0.1.0 (2015-07-20)
First release on PyPI.
