Getting started using Python Scripts

My solution (under Protel) was to take from BOM only:

  • number of elements: 5
  • their symbols: R1, R3, R7, R8, R9
  • their value: 1k

    That way I have all such informations in one place, see and edit easily.

With KiCad I will also get footprint from BOM. Thanks to that I will have 1k in different footprints (til now I had 1k and 1k_4 elements). I have checked that spredsheet can serch for text being a concatenation of texts from two columns.
