Hello KiCad users,
You might like to know about a python script I just finished which takes CSV data from one or many files and generates a LIB and DCM file.
It was specifically written to generate four unit MCU schematic components from the CSV data available from Energy Micro for their range of ARM Cortex MCUs. However, there's no reason it shouldn't be adapted to generated other components requiring a similar style.
The script, and 144 component library files are available here:
https://github.com/hairykiwi/csv2kicad
(I know about the KiCad alias field, it's just not yet implemented, so apologies for the lib file size.)
It's licensed CC-BY-SA 3.0.
For the record: csv2kicad_energymicro.py is supplied (quiet thoroughly checked but) without warranty. Energy Micro have not endorsed my work and I have no financial motivations for mentioning Energy Micro, besides my intention to use them in a (potentially commercial) openhardware project.
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Hamish Mead
