Re: Tools for editing/creating UI elements in KiCad?

 

Holy smokes, that is massively cool and way better than anything I would've come up with.

Thank you for making this and telling me about it!

Cheers,

    Your hand assembly assistant sounds exactly like what my plugin
    does, here is an example:

        Hi Folks,

        Reviving some conversation that's happened over the
        years...what are the
        favored tools for editing and/or creating the wxWidgets UI
        elements for
        KiCad?  Hopefully not "vi"...

        On the one hand, I suppose I could always just go my own way
        with my own
        fork, but I'd like to wind up with something possibly
        re-integratable
        when I'm done (the current idea is creating a hand-assembly
        assistant --
        a simple UI that will select/highlight parts in pcbnew to help
        me get my
        eyes on the right spot on the real board, and let me check off
        the parts
        as I place them, etc).

        I found some discussion surrounding wxFormBuilder from 2008,
        and I know
        that CMake can generate project files for CodeLite, which
        features
        wxFormBuilder integration... so is that the recommended path?

        Cheers,
        -Brian
