Part Number variant #429

Closed metropt closed 3 years ago

metropt commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to use variant to select a part number? Per example a capacitor that could have two different values if it is --variant DC5V or --variant DC12V

Thank you

Yes: check the "Custom Part Data" at https://xess.com/KiCost/docs/_build/singlehtml/index.html

If you are using KiCad, use two specif fields: kicost:DC5V:MPN or kicost:DC5V:manf# or ... and kicost:DC12V:MPN or kicost:DC12V:manf# or ...

If you are using Eagle, Altium, Proteus or other EDA with CSV based output, the column should reflect the same as above.

To generate the *.xlsx file use the kicost --variant call as the "Examples" into the "Usage" section of the before link.
