Description

Digi-Key is one of the most complete electronic parts providers. Is often used as a reference.

If you have a field containing the Digi-Key part number you can make its column to contain links to the Digi-Key web page for this component.

How to use

Define the digikey_link option in the configuration file (i.e. bom.ini).

The value for this option is the column you want to convert into a link to the Digi-Key. Note that this field must be a valid Digi-Key part number. Example:

digikey_link = digikey#

This will make entries in the column digikey# (Digi-Key part number) links to the component's web page.

You can specify more than one fiel name using tab (ASCII 9) as separator:

digikey_link = digikey# digikey_alt#

Limitations

Replaces #80 using a simpler method.
