How can i place WS2812B LED's?

How can i add WS2812b's which have a diode annotation?

[adamws]

easiest option: use different annotation for LEDs

If both key matrix diodes and LEDs use same annotation there is an workaround (make backup first):

• clear annotations
• select LEDs on schematic, run annotation on selection - we want matching numbers between LEDs and switches
• annotate remaining symbols, use 'keep existing annotations' you should have something like this:
• update PCB
• run plugin in two stages:
  • first: (note that diode placement option is unticked) it should result in something like this:
  • second (note that layout file is empty - we do not want to move switches anymore, also additional elements list is empty): should result in something like this:
• go back to schematic, clear annotations, re-annotate (or revert to previous saved state)
  • use scope and numbering settings in annotation window
• update PCB

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I did it the extra hard way, i off-setted the numbers variable in place_switch_elements in key_placer.py which worked much better than i expected
