Convert KiCad netlist into a PCBNEW .kicad_pcb file.

Features

  • Converts a KiCad netlist file into a .kicad_pcb file that can be edited with PCBNEW.

Credits

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.

History

1.1.2 (2024-02-26)

  • Added FPID setting to part, otherwise only the fp_name and not the fp_lib appears in the final board.

  • Added iterator to connect all pads of the same number to a given net. This mimics the behavior of the GUI editor.

  • Added Python 3.12 to test environments.

1.1.1 (2023-09-10)

  • net.get_pins() is now used when a SKiDL Circuit object is used as the input for generating a PCB.

1.1.0 (2022-08-13)

  • Added –libraries command-line option to specify footprint library directories.

1.0.1 (2022-06-30)

  • Fixed incompatibilities with KiCad V6 Python API (pcbnew).

1.0.0 (2021-09-16)

  • Decided this tool was mature to the point it could be called 1.0.0.

0.1.3 (2021-05-19)

  • The parts in the PCB are now given a non-overlapping arrangement grouped according to their hierarchical nesting.

0.1.2 (2021-05-18)

  • The kinet2pcb() function will now generate a KiCad PCB file when given a netlist file name, a PyParsing object, or a SKiDL Circuit object.

  • kinet2pcb can now be installed in the default Python interpreter on a system and it will look in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages to find the pcbnew module installed by KiCad. If the pcbnew module is not found there, add the correct location to the PYTHONPATH environment variable.

0.1.1 (2019-03-09)

  • Now runs under Python 2 & 3.

0.1.0 (2019-10-28)

  • First release on PyPI.
