Re: kicad footprint plugins wizard in windows

 

Hi Nick,

I found that the right path in windows is:
C:\KiCad\bin\scripting\plugins
where C:\KiCad is the main installation dir

I also found that in windows the script has a problem
When I make a qfp footprint (e.g. QFP 64) I get this error:
one of invalid character 'tab space'
because of the footprint name in library with a space 'QFP 64'
This error comes out when I try to associate a wrl models to the footprint I created.
This error has the same behavior also for BGA and DIP footprints

Thanks for the script... it saves a lot of time! :)
Maurice

Hi,

I don't know where to place the python plugins file (e.g. qfp_wizard.py)
in windows...

in linux the right place is ~/.kicad_plugins
but I don't know the right place in windows...
I tried with the Nick pre-built windows files
http://www2.futureware.at/~nickoe/kicad-product-r6097.b384c94-x86_64.exe
putting the script in
C:\KiCad-test\lib\kicad\plugins
but it didn't worked

I can't find any help in docs...

thanks
Maurice
