Re: [RFC][PATCH] import pins from CSV

 

This sounds like something I could use now.

Do you have any documentation on 'how to use' ? I would also have to reinstate my toolchain to be able to use it - not insignificant amount of labor. By reading your doc, I could determine the cost/benefit at the moment.

Thanks much - Bob G

This adds a button on the component editor toolbar that prompts for a csv file,
and then reads pin numbers and names and generates pins.

I decided to start with something small but a few potential avenues for
improvement I can see are:
- adding a parser for electrical type based on regex
- integrating this into it's own dialog with selectors for parsing options,
   default pin direction
- moving the button from the toolbar to the pin table, or even more integration
   of some sort with pin table

I tested it on linux and there is a build that will hopefully finish soon here:

Cheers,
