Hello KiCad community!
I’m excited to share a tool that I’ve developed for my company and that they agree to make public:
Ki-nTree uses Digi-Key’s API to automatically generate symbols from parts specifications, you just need to feed it a part number 
If you are using InvenTree, it does the same thing there too!
Check out the Get Started documentation to take it for a test drive 
Just released the 0.2 version!
I added a full demo video, refactored and increased the code testing coverage.
Cheers
Nice! Thank you, one small thing, it took me a while to figure out the link to the video, maybe it needs it own subsection or a trick like this ?
Thanks! I’ll try to make the video links more obvious, or embed a gif. Thanks for the suggestion
I just released 0.3 version! 
Here are the new features:
Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/sparkmicro/Ki-nTree
Hope Ki-nTree boosts your part creation process!
Another update!
I’m happy to announce SnapEDA has been kind enough to allow Ki-nTree check the availability of symbol and footprint in their database!
This is how you can check:
This is part of the 0.3.rc release: don’t miss it!
Cheers
Just released 0.3.1: https://github.com/sparkmicro/Ki-nTree/releases/tag/0.3.1
Merry Christmas!
Adding parts to KiCad and InvenTree using Ki-nTree keeps on getting better!
Check out the latest 0.3.3 release
If you want to test out adding parts to InvenTree without having to run any instance, we are building a demo version here:
https://inventree.polarize.xyz/
Get in touch to get the details
Hi, I am interested, could you provide login details?
@poco Details here: https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/issues/1280#issuecomment-777101081
The dataset is reset once per day, so that you know.
0.3.6 was just released, check it out!
Also InvenTree, the open-source inventory management system (with modern interface and a LOT of features and flexibility), keeps on getting better so give it a shot!
Now available on docker hub and an app was released for Android
Hi @eeintech
tried to create an executable for windows.
Have used Ubuntu under windows and created the \dist folder.
This folder contains no .exe file, neither in the .zip file.
@martin123 I don’t think pyinstaller (packaging tool) can be told which OS it is building for, therefore when you run the build process on Ubuntu, it is building for Ubuntu, not Windows. Unfortunately you’ll need to run it on Git Bash instead of WSL/Ubuntu.
EDIT: I just fixed a packaging issue I found, you should update you Ki-nTree local instance with git pull origin master
@martin123 I’ve just released 0.3.10 which makes it easier to package the application, the path to the user configuration and cache can be set in the “Settings > User” menu. If you run the invoke build in Git Bash, you should get a standalone executable and no more extra folders!
Is there a reason for not having a ready built version on github?
Multiple reasons:
invoke build command)
Hope you get it to work! Cheers
Got some great news, Ki-nTree is now on PyPI!
Check it out : https://pypi.org/project/kintree/
You can now install it with pip install kintree
Both Mouser and LCSC APIs are now supported to create KiCad parts faster than ever!
pip install -U kintree is all you need
