Hi Guys,

As an online part system has been talked about for KiCad a few times I
thought DesignLink was worth a heads-up on the list. It is run by
Farnell, and is an online part database that is searchable by
attributes.

It is already integrated into Eagle (Not suprising, Farnell bought the
company behind Eagle), Cadstar and Altium.

There is some further information here:

and here:
http://www.element-14.com/community/docs/DOC-22710/l/the-latest-version-of-eagle-version-5100-includes-a-new-interface-called-designlink-and-additional-language-support-for-mandarin-and-hungarian

It might be worth a bit of a look although the protocol is not open.

Best Regards,

Brian.
