QUESTION
I know this was a stupid mistake, but hear me out.
I have a git repo (which has a remote on GitHub) and I wanted to create a new branch. I wouldn't say that I am very new to git, I have used it for quite a long time and like to think that I can do some decent repo work.
Now, this repo is mostly full of binary data, and that is because the repo doesn't have code, rather it has proprietary data files in binary which my software uses.
Back to the problem, I decided to create a new branch for my partner, who works with different data files. My working tree was not clean and there were about 2 or 3 modified files and 1 new file. I ran the following:

QUESTION
This's probably quite off-topic but maybe someone else share my experience... when I started coding KiCAD plugins and learning Python I decided to use VSCode (with Microsoft Python extension) because I already use it for a number of other things and works great.
I have two main issues mostly bound to Python extension itself other than VSCode:
VSCode try to use python 3.7 binary (I installed it on my machine and I need it) instead kicad/python 2 (it's installed on a different location);
even if I setup VSCode to look for additional packages with a specific configuration file (
...settings.json
):
ANSWER
Answered 2019-Oct-10 at 13:21To correctly enable per project configuration of VSCode / Python open folder and create a workspace configuration for the project itself (i.e. create a .vscode
folder inside project folder and store a settings.json
file inside it with you custom configuration). In my specific case I needed to specifiy a custom location for an older Python binary trough python.pythonPath
directive.

QUESTION
I'm writing a class to serialize a KiCAD BOM/Schematic file. The class works fine and correctly serialize and deserialize the original file but I'm having two small problems that I'm unable to fix. This's the class code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Mar-06 at 22:57The first issue is on the XmlRoot
element. I expected version
attribute to appear inside the XMLRoot
tag but it does not.
As explained in Introducing XML Serialization, XmlSerializer
will not serialize a const
member even when public:
XML serialization serializes only the public fields and property values of an object into an XML stream. XML serialization does not include type information.
XML serialization does not convert methods, indexers, private fields, or read-only properties (except read-only collections). To serialize all an object's fields and properties, both public and private, use the DataContractSerializer instead of XML serialization.
The easiest way to work around this is to add a surrogate property for the version, like so:

QUESTION
I am trying to work through the tutorial on KiCad and it seems that the discrete pads are missing. I have already installed in OSX with the extra package. Are there some ways to add these components to my install?
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Oct-30 at 06:14I found they were not in libraries by default. I had to open the settings in CvPcb and append the discrete library.
QUESTION
Im doing my first KiCad project, and I want to make through holes so the components are mounted on the front side and the copper of the through hole is only on the back side (because my manufacture dont do "vias through-holes"). Do I accomplish this by (was supposed to post a image here but stackoverflow do not allow me to):
- From Pad Properties under "Layers" section, choose Copper to "B.Cu" instead of default "all copper layers".
or 2: do I have to set Pad Type to NPTH and do the same as in 1?
thanks for any replies :)
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Mar-19 at 23:33I suspect that your fab house misunderstands your request or you have an error in your board (maybe you have a via that is located inside your throughhole?)
That said, if you really want to accomplish this, then option 1 is your correct method.
QUESTION
This question seems simple, but I cannot find any answer on official site.
I have also tried out gitlab API with plenty url variations (an ofc. with real credentials):
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Dec-13 at 12:18Yes the API for SaaS Gitlab.com is active.
Use this link to retrieve the first batch of projects: https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects
I am not aware of the libary which you are using here, but you can try to replace https://gitlab.com
with https://gitlab.com/api/v4/
Further it is not a good practice to insert passwords into the source code. For that reason there are tokens. That way you can limit the access to specific tasks and prevent anybody, who gets in possession of the code, to takeover your account. https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/README.html#authentication
QUESTION
I have managed to build the Kicad 4.0.6 in Linux Mageia 5.1 with gcc version 4.9.2. I first manually fixed two wxWidgets 3.0.2 header files in the /usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/ directory: regex.h and features.h. Kicad then compiled successfully. With the native wx-3.0 headers, the compiler generated the error in pcbnew/netlist_reader.cpp due to the undefined variable wxRE_ADVANCED.
The features.h header checks if the macro WX_NO_REGEX_ADVANCED is defined. If yes, features.h UNdefines wxHAS_REGEX_ADVANCED macro, and defines it, if no. The macro wxHAS_REGEX_ADVANCED, in turn, is used in regex.h to determine if among the enum constants wxRE_ADVANCED = 1 is present. The standard prebuilt Mageia 5 packages wxgtku3.0_0 and lib64wxgtku3.0-devel that I installed with the use of Mageia's software manager urpmi from Mageia repository WX_NO_REGEX_ADVANCED is defined, therefore wxHAS_REGEX_ADVANCED is undefined, and, hence, wxRE_ADVANCED is undefined either. Kicad 4.0.6 source package assumes wxRE_ADVANCED = 1, therefore the build process stops with the error.
Then I reverted /usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/regex.h and features.h to their original state and learned how to add the definition of wxRE_ADVANCED to CMakeLists.txt. However, I still have a question.
The recommended format of adding the definition to CMakeLists.txt I found at CMake command line for C++ #define is this:

QUESTION
I'm writing a .NET API (C#) to manage KiCAD PCB files. Their format according to docs (here) is a sort of S-Expression. I tried reusing some S-Expression parsers but for several reasons they could not fit my needs so I decided to write one but I found myself stuck.
As a first try I wrote down a simple function that recursively descend into the the file structure and create a System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode
hierarchy that match the structure (I used TreeNode
because I use a TreeView
component to depict the parsed structure):
ANSWER
Answered 2017-Mar-03 at 16:59This is a common parsing idiom. In EBNF
node :: atom | "(" list ")"
list ::= node | list node
which in C# one could implement as an abstract base class, and a class for node, atom and list. I did something similar here https://github.com/bobc/eakit/tree/master/source/kicad_tools/SExpression

Install kicad
You can use kicad like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
