hello,
Thanks for reading this
I have a schema in TANGO/PCAD, and I want to import its NETLIST into KICAD-PCBNEW.
Did anyone do some hack/tool to load the netlist inside PCBNEW?
I am thinking to do this hack by myself…
but I am a first time KICADPCBNEW user and I need some guidance.
TANGO/PCAD netlist file follows this format (three components BAT/DIODE/CAP in series):
The interconnection between components are important information, they are between brackets (). Information between [] are not useful in my case.
[ C3 PATTERNPCB1206 CAP 1U ] [ D2 PATTERNPCB1206 DIODE 1N4148 ] [ B1 PATTERNPCB1206 BATTERY LITIO ] ( GND C3-2 B1-2 ) ( NET00000 D2-1 B1-1 ) ( NET00001 C3-1 D2-2 )
Following the information I could find here https://github.com/xesscorp/skidl
I think this hand conversion could work, but I am not sure if I can suppress all other KICAD NETLIST sections (design, components,…)
(export (version D) (nets (net (code 0) (name GND) (node (ref C3) (pin 2))) (node (ref B1) (pin 2))) (net (code 1) (name NET00000) (node (ref D2) (pin 1))) (node (ref B1) (pin 1))) (net (code 2) (name NET00001) (node (ref C3) (pin 1)) (node (ref D2) (pin 2)))) )
All assistance would be appreciated…
