parts2jitx 0.2.1

Import electronic part data (LCSC, KiCad, EasyEDA) and convert to JITX component code

parts2jitx

Import electronic part data and convert it to JITX Python component code.

Supports LCSC/EasyEDA part lookup and KiCad footprint conversion.

Install

pip install parts2jitx

CLI Tools

parts2jitx-lcsc

Look up LCSC/JLCPCB parts: real-time stock, pricing, datasheet URLs, and KiCad footprint download via EasyEDA.

# Check stock and pricing
parts2jitx-lcsc C165948

# Download KiCad footprint
parts2jitx-lcsc C165948 --footprint -o usb_c.kicad_mod

# Get pinout data
parts2jitx-lcsc C165948 --pinout

# Everything at once (JSON output)
parts2jitx-lcsc C165948 --all -o usb_c.kicad_mod --json

parts2jitx-kicad

Convert KiCad .kicad_mod footprint files to JITX Python component code. Works with any .kicad_mod file — not just ones from LCSC/EasyEDA.

# Basic conversion
parts2jitx-kicad footprint.kicad_mod

# With metadata
parts2jitx-kicad footprint.kicad_mod \
    --class-name USB_C_16P \
    --manufacturer "Molex" \
    --mpn "2012670005" \
    -o components/connectors/molex_2012670005.py

# From stdin
echo '(footprint ...)' | parts2jitx-kicad --stdin

# Debug: dump parsed pad data as JSON
parts2jitx-kicad footprint.kicad_mod --dump-pads

Full pipeline example

# 1. Download footprint from LCSC
parts2jitx-lcsc C165948 --footprint -o kicad_footprints/usb_c.kicad_mod

# 2. Convert to JITX component
parts2jitx-kicad kicad_footprints/usb_c.kicad_mod \
    --class-name USB_C_16P \
    --manufacturer "Korean Hroparts Elec" \
    --mpn "TYPE-C-31-M-12" \
    -o src/components/connectors/usb_c_16p.py

Python API

from parts2jitx.lcsc_lookup import lcsc_stock, get_footprint, get_pinout

# Stock and pricing
info = lcsc_stock("C165948")
print(info["mpn"], info["stock"], info["prices"])

# Download footprint
kicad_content = get_footprint("C165948", output_path="usb_c.kicad_mod")

# Get pinout
pins = get_pinout("C165948")
for pin in pins:
    print(pin["number"], pin["name"])
