ECAD-generated Kicad library support & fuller kicad part annotation #195

Closed rtpavlovsk21 closed 11 months ago

rtpavlovsk21 commented 1 year ago

Revision of #194. This adds:

  1. an example file in test_data that is an example of how ECAD parts exist when downloaded from part providers (Mouser, Digikey, etc)
  2. a test that checks if the ecad parts have no pins
  3. a method to construct the rest of the Part attribute space, when additional properties are available in the kicad symbol libraries. it attempts to avoid overwriting existing Part attributes.

I'll close this in a few days, and will host it on my fork.

I'm actually integrating it into my development branch. Your PR exposed an error in how I was parsing the parts for KiCad 6 and 7: parts can have pins outside of units. So I am implementing that. (Just looking for pins if there aren't any units isn't really the right way to do it.) So, eventually, much of this PR will make it into my version of SKiDL.

Take a look and see if it does what you need it to.

Thanks @devbisme! I will have a look this weekend.
