kicad-to-ergogen | module aims to simplify making footprint modules

kicad-to-ergogen is a JavaScript library. kicad-to-ergogen has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This module aims to simplify making footprint modules for ergogen. The idea is to generate the schematics of a board in KiCad, place the components on a PCB in groups and then export all groups individually as ergogen modules. Furthermore, it allows to export all traces which are added with KiCad to an ergogen PCB back into a footprint (see below for further explanation). This should make the design process of more complex boards faster. Finally, footprints can also be generated from KiCad footprint files. This project works with KiCad 5 only! As ergogen is build around KiCad 5 syntax, this project only supports KiCad 5 as well. I will consider rewriting the software, when ergogen changes to KiCad 6. Also, this is my first JS project. Feel free to suggest improvements. If you want to process KiCad files with JS, have a look at the kicad-module-parser from which I took the s-expression parser. Its data format is easier to work with, but makes it harder to output correct KiCad files again.
