I love this plugin but it feels not really integrated. I think a GUI woud be absolutely awesome!

It could be super simple, maybe just a single window that shows up after the user clicks the action plugin button. There you got the options (checkboxes, radios, whatever) and paths which could be saved in a YAML/TOMS/INI file beside the plugin itself. And a textfield for the LCSC number plus a Go button to download the data.

Actually not that big of a deal to build and would make the plugin usable from within KiCAD.

By now circles and arcs are not supported which leads to wierd symbles sometimes, here's nan example for C318884

Easyeda symbol:

KiCAD symbol generated by this tool:

According to the code, circles and arcs are not yet implemented:

https://github.com/uPesy/easyeda2kicad.py/blob/6ac7bae3363c5a5cd185f7e55c24cc9e2b117bbe/easyeda2kicad/easyeda/parameters_easyeda.py#L143-L152

The code even states that arcs are not supported by KiCAD but thats not true for V6.0 / V6.99 (elliptical arcs are not supported, thats true)

Hi,

first of all, wonderful tool 🤩

Added this switch:

Thats the result in the Schematic:

This is what esyEDA gives me:

The footprint looks good apart from minor artifacts:

The 3D model is offset in Y and Z:

Maybe im just lazy but if possible it would be nice to have a shortcut for the easyeda2kicad command, e2a for example.

I'm not sure but I think that should be possible in the setup.py like this:

entry_points={"console_scripts": [
   "easyeda2kicad = easyeda2kicad.__main__:main",
   "e2a= easyeda2kicad.__main__:main"
]},

First of all thanks for this awesome program!

I got a parse issue with kicad6 loading the .kicad_sym file.

I did:

easyeda2kicad --full --lcsc_id=C2040 --output ./C2040

It generated the following .kicad_sym

(kicad_symbol_lib
  (version 20211014)
  (generator https://github.com/uPesy/easyeda2kicad.py
  (symbol "RP2040"

There seems to be an issue with no ')' at the end of the generator line. Adding that seemed to fix the parse error in kicad for me

Is there a way to directly write a .kicad_sym file, so it can be edited in KiCad 6? Also, would be super useful to have more details from the web page available in the symbols - LCSC ID, description, datasheet, package, and price per unit are the most important which I have always added manually so far.

expected behaviour

converted symbols are visible on kicad

what actually happened

symbols fails to load when exeed 20 on a single file

how to reproduce

add 20 symbols with command with --overwrite option

how to go around

write to other file via --output option

All these manual steps can be done automatically https://github.com/uPesy/easyeda2kicad.py#-add-libraries-in-kicad

Suggestion by @Bouni : https://gist.github.com/Bouni/cf1e5fde1d35ddd71f98d12781353897

It would be nice if there would be some sort of config somewhere so that a user could specify a default output path (and maybe other default values as well)

I've just updated to 0.3.1 and it seems that the symbol (new .kicad_sym) as well as the 3D Model do no longer work!

6.0.5 and 6.99 (latest nightly) both do not show a symbol nor the 3D Model but the fotprint is working. I tested with C2040 as it is known to be working.

I found out that there is a Bracket to much, if I delete that it works.

(kicad_symbol_lib
  (version 20211014)
  (generator https://github.com/uPesy/easyeda2kicad.py)
) <--- This Bracket is to much !!
  (symbol "RP2040"

Why the .wrl file is not working is still unclear ...

Hi, I have not find the way to convert the offset of easyeda 3d model to KiCad 5.x

For exemple for ID C319148, here the JSON with only relevant data

                "head": {
                    "x": 4001.992,    // x origin footprint
                    "y": 2999.8101,  // y origin footprint
                },
                "canvas": "CA~1000~1000~#000000~yes~#FFFFFF~10~1000~1000~line~0.03937~mm~1~45~visible~0.5~4001.992~2999.8101~0~none",

I've downloaded C77837, a D-SUB connector. The holes look like they are filled with copper:

But wehn I open them in the editor, change the type from THT to SMD and back, they appear right.

On closer inspection I've seen that they all have *.Paste in their layers, bcause the part is set to SMD:

But changing that to THT doesn't solve the issue, I've to remove the *.Paste from every pad in a texte ditor:

This solves the issue but is very labor intensive ...

after installing the package, running easyeda2kicad returns "easyeda2kicad : The term 'easyeda2kicad' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program."

Suddenly(as in this morning), after importing numerous symbols into easyeda2kicad.kicad_sym, any further imports the program completes without errors, yet no symbol is actually populated in the kicad_sym file. Any ideas why?

C398355 is a dual opamp, its symbol on easyeada comes in two(?) parts, the import basically imports an empty symbol.

There is a version of the chip in kicad, there you have to add three symbols and end up with more than one footpriunt that needs to be aligned. Both versions are not nice :)

Hi There

I have added a new flag for the commandline. It enables you to store the 3D-File relative to the project folder.

In fact it opens all kicad_mod files and changes the absolute path to a relative one. For example:

(model "${KIPRJMOD}/test.3dshapes/LED0603-R-RD_BLUE.wrl"

${KIPRJMOD} is the path of the project.

Would be nice, if you accept the pull request :)
