LCSC distributor - how to use ? #559

Closed ajohn77 closed 7 months ago

ajohn77 commented 7 months ago

Hi, I understand KiCost shall somehow support LCSC distributor, right ? At release info 1.1.3 it is said: "Added LCSC as distributor into the Kitspace API ". And at 1.1.6: "Fix LCSC link and add BOM import links of all"

I tried to add new line with "LCSC:" to config.yaml, but obviously this is not the way to go ("Unknown API lcsc")

May be I miss something obvious, but I can't find any info how to setup KiCost to include LCSC in searches. Also it seems LCSC doesn't provide any API/keys, so I am a bit clueless how this shall work.

Would you provide some info about LCSC pls. ?

Generally it would be useful to add at least short info how to set up each distributor in KiCost doc. E.g. a link to appropriate section of dist. web and some steps what is needed to make it working.

Anyway, thank you for your work, I find this tool extremely useful !
