Conversion tools and information
22
====================================
33

4+
This directory contains information regarding getting the libraries transfered from eagle to kicad.
5+
6+
Tasks:
7+
8+
* Convert bulk of libraries to Kicad
9+
* Combine footprints and have single source for common footprints
10+
* Convert .mod to new format: .pretty (.kicad_mod)
11+
* Determine where the descriptions and prod IDs should live
12+
13+
**Convert bulk of libraries to Kicad**
14+
15+
Use this script for libraries

**Combine footprints and have single source for common footprints**

A tool for moving symbols and footprints between .mod and .lib files:

29+
**Convert .mod to new format: .pretty (.kicad_mod)**
30+
31+
Do this by "saving as" within kicad
32+
33+
**Determine where the descriptions and prod IDs should live**
34+
35+
The descriptions are not formatted as well but do show up on the part browser. The product IDs could be added as keywords (and would be indexed for searching).

testLibrary.lib -- Symbol of an IC in a lib
2+
testModels.mod -- Ouptut from eagle-kicad tool
3+
testOutputPretty.pretty/SparkFun-IC-Memory-SO08.kicad_mod -- Result after opening and "saving-as".
4+
testLibrary.dcm -- File generated after adding description and keywords in library editor, then saving.
5+
6+
This test shows:
7+
* The old kicad format uses a SVG style syntax while the new ".pretty" is more human readable.
8+
* Keywords can be added to link symbols to real sparkfun parts. This can be done either in tool or with a script.
