I've tested the windows version with the business logic of my action plugins and I am happy to report that I've had no issues and plugins produced the same results as with python2. On Tuesday, 14 August 2018, 23:26:06 CEST, Nick Østergaard wrote: Hi Thomas, I am happy to see that

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but you should take a look at how Miles Mccoo clones zones in his python script https://github.com/mmccoo/kicad_mmccoo/blob/master/replicatelayout/replicatelayout.py lines 215-224 and 15-20 Regards, Mitja On Monday, 27 August 2018,

As an author of the flowchart I have to clearly state that most of the complexity stems from the big change in symbol, footprint and 3D model libraries. And the change was for the better, so kudos to the library maintainers. And as with any change, the migration across it is going to be

Hi! This would also enable fully automated PDN analysis (e.g. a voltage regulator could have property "V_OUT" with value "5.0" on the output pin. An IC connected to this net would have the property "I_IN" with value "0.2" and property "V_IN_MIN" with value "4.5". When PCB would be done then

Hi Seth, This does sound like an invitation. I've written a number of action plugins [1] and would be glad to help with KiCad main code, but my C++ skills are nonexistent (I do know a bit of C though, so the basic syntax should not be an issue). I've never built KiCad from source and I am

Re: [Kicad-developers] Back annotate references from PCB

2019-11-27 Thread mitjan696-ubu...@yahoo.co.uk
I'll offer my thoughts on the subject bear in mind that I have zero knowledge of KiCad code internals and I could not really follow parts of this discussion. With back-annotation you really have a locking issue. Before re-annotating the layout, you have to make sure that the layout is in sync

Re: [Kicad-developers] What does /path do in PCBNew files?

I've find the copy-paste functionality only useful for penalization of designs if you make the PCB's at home. As both of you found out for replicating parts of repetitive layout, layout and schematics have to be in sync. And I don't see a way how one could copy-paste layout and then back

While I like the idea of hooks I think there are a couple of things that should be implemented before and they should enable part of the workflow that you envision. To be specific, implementing action plugin interface in Project manager. Once this is in place a lot of hook actions could be

2020-12-23 Thread mitjan696-ubu...@yahoo.co.uk
As a lurker on this mailing list, I'd just like to comment from where in my opinion the misunderstanding here stems from. Back in the days before KiCad migrated to GitLab, any release was usually announced by Wayne (e.g. "I am going to tag 5.x.x on x.x. any comments on this?"). Usually the
