General discussion / Re: "madparts" functional footprint editor

Today I released 1.1. Mostly a bug-fix release but it does contain a hugely simplified installation for win32 and linux.

More details at http://joost.damad.be/2013/05/madparts-release-11.html

Thanks, I bookmarked those for later. I added a separate task for geda support. Might do it at some point in the future, or maybe someone else does.

[quote author="Bertho"]Very interesting. How difficult would it be to do gplEDA's pcb and Kicad import/exports too?

BTW, I guess you mean this link: https://github.com/andete/madparts/wiki[/quote]

Yes. Thanks.

I plan to add kicad support for the 1.2 release in the not so far future. Does geda use a different format then kicad?

General discussion / "madparts" functional footprint editor

March 31, 2013, 01:35:10 pm

Being somewhat annoyed with the cumbersome task of creating footprints for ICs I decided to make my own program for it two months ago.

Last Friday I finally released version 1.0 as fully opensource software.

Some highlights of the program:

* a footprint is a small coffeescript program, giving you huge expressiveness
* import from, export to eagle cad libraries
* high level pattern detection for single, dual quad formations of pads on import
* instant graphical feedback of footprint with continuous compilation process
* easy collaboration because footprints are separate files and libraries are just directories

Since I can't make external links as this is my first post, and you guys seem to be very serious about forum spam, just google for madparts to hopefully find the website. You can find a screenshot, FAQ and documentation and downloads there.

I hope the program can be useful for other people as well.
