How can i get the full change log for kicad python api?

How to port old code to the latest ?

Current API is not a real api in conventional sense, it’s just kicad’s internals exposed via automatically generated python interface. So no change log other than git commit log.

Take a look at the Replicate layout plugin in master and 5.99_test branch. This first one is a version that works in V5 while the second one is the version which works in V6. Looking at the diff you should get the idea what changed

When i set a new footprint in pcbnew,the footprint do not display instantly until I use mouse to click it. if i click other component. new footprint disappear again. what wrong with it?

	if not pcb:pcb = pcbnew.GetBoard()
	f='C:/test/x.kicad_mod'
	name='x.kicad_mod'
	sp  ='C:/test'
	plugin = pcbnew.IO_MGR.PluginFind(1)
	m=plugin.FootprintLoad(sp,name)
	if not m:
		return 0
	m.SetPosition(pcbnew.wxPoint(x,y))
	pcb.Add(m)

Maybe you shoud ‘pcbnew.refresh()’

How to do auto route in python

18

Easy, you hire a team of professional developers, pay them 5 digit salaries for a few months and at the end you’ll get something like freerouter.
Or you can just use freerouter.

More serious answer: kicad doesn’t have an auto router. There is some simple auto assisted routing in v7 but it’s not exposed in api.
