Re: [PATCH] Footprint Wizards Update

 

Sorry, I just found the email. Sorry for my delayed answer.

The code looks good to me, I believe it's a good change, it's not backwards
compatible with the older footprint wizards, but the changes to make them
compatible seem simple enough, and well documented.


If I had comments to make, it'd be why are we using uInteger, uEtc for
parameter types.

Could we use the python convention to have constants in upcase, and may be
se

INTEGER_PARAM, .... ETC_PARAM on the python side ?

this is more nitpicking than anything.


Nice work.
