You can easily create both symbols for schematic and land patterns for PCB. Features ======== * Downloading component definitions from global repository * Generating schematic symbols: - Single and multi part IC (dual-in-line, quad) - Connector - Capacitor, crystal, diode, FET, fuse, inductor, LED, pushbutton, resistor, switch, test point, transistor, TVS - Power supply, ground - GOST style alternative * Borrowing packages dimensions from standards: - Industrial (JEDEC, JEITA) - Manufacturer's (NXP) * Land pattern calculation according to IPC-7351 (tending to comply latest IPC-7351C): - Chip Array - Dual (CFP, DIP, SOIC, SOJ, SOL, SON, SOP) - Grid Array (BGA, CGA, LGA) - Mounting hole - Oscillator (corner concave, side concave, side flat) - Quad (CQFP, QFN, QFP) - Radial lead (Cylindrical) - SOT (SOT143, SOT223, SOT23, SOTFL) - Test point - TO (\*PAK) - Two Pin (Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Chip, Crystal, Molded body, MELF, SOD, SODFL) - Custom element * Generating libraries: - KiCad format * 3D models generation Installation ============ QEDA module for using in scripts as well as command line interface: npm install -g qeda Examples ======== First example will download component descriptions from [library repository](https://github.com/qeda/library/) then save them to disk and add to library manager. Last string is to generate component library in KiCad format (schematic symbols for [Eeschema](http://kicad-pcb.org/discover/eeschema/) as well as PCB footprints for [PcbNew](http://kicad-pcb.org/discover/pcbnew/)). CLI --- Run in terminal (note that component names are case insensitive but power and ground nets are not): ``` qeda reset qeda add altera/5m1270zt144 qeda add analog/ad9393 qeda add st/l3gd20h qeda add ti/iso722 qeda power +5VDC qeda power +3V3DC qeda ground GNDDC qeda ground signal/GNDS qeda ground earth/GNDE qeda ground chassis/GNDCH qeda generate mylib ``` And find generated files in `./kicad` directory. [Read more](http://qeda.org/doc/qeda/utility/) about available commands. From script ----------- Example is written on CoffeeScript but one can use vanilla JavaScript. [script.coffee](./examples/script/script.coffee): ```coffeescript Qeda = require 'qeda' lib = new Qeda.Library lib.add 'Altera/5M1270ZT144' # Add Altera MAX V CPLD lib.add 'Analog/AD9393' # Add Analog Devices HDMI interface lib.add 'ST/L3GD20H' # Add STMicroelectronics gyroscope lib.add 'TI/ISO722' # Add Texas Instruments digital isolator lib.power '+5VDC' # Add power supply symbol lib.power '+3V3DC' # Add another power supply symbol lib.ground 'GNDDC' # Add ground symbol lib.ground 'Signal/GNDS' # Add signal ground symbol lib.ground 'Earth/GNDE' # Add earth ground symbol lib.ground 'Chassis/GNDCH' # Add chassis ground symbol lib.generate 'mylib' ``` Run it: coffee script.coffee And find generated files in `./kicad` directory. Custom component description ---------------------------- Any electronic component is described using YAML-file located in `./library` directory (or some subdirectory within). You can clone all available descriptions from , add your ones, copy from any source. Then just point correspondent path as parameter for `qeda add ...` command or `Qeda.Library.add` method (without `./library/` prefix and `.yaml` suffix). [library/dummy.yaml](./examples/custom/library/dummy.yaml): ```yaml name: Dummy pinout: DIN: 1 ~DOUT: 2 Vcc: 3 GND: 4, 5 NC: 6-8 properties: power: Vcc ground: GND in: DIN out: ~DOUT nc: NC inverted: ~DOUT schematic: symbol: IC left: DIN, NC right: ~DOUT, NC top: Vcc bottom: GND housing: outline: JEDEC MS-012 AA ``` [Read more](http://qeda.org/doc/qeda/component/) about component description. Then run in terminal: ``` qeda reset qeda add dummy qeda generate dummy ``` Or create [custom.coffee](./examples/custom/custom.coffee): ```coffeescript Qeda = require 'qeda' lib = new Qeda.Library lib.add 'Dummy' # Adding custom element lib.generate 'dummy' ``` And run: coffee custom.coffee Result: ![Symbol](./doc/images/dummy.png) ![Footprint](./doc/images/soic.png) Documentation ============= Please refer to [Documentation](http://doc.qeda.org/) section on the website for additional information.
