Altium-CircuitMaker-Tools

A collection of scripts and tools to make my life easier while using Altium Designer or CircuitMaker.

There's more information here, but the most useful script here is brd-builder.py, which can convert images to native EAGLE components, to be imported into CircuitMaker.

brd-builder.py

Description

Converts a 1-bit bitmap image into an EAGLE component on the specified layer. This was written because CircuitMaker's importer (via File->Import) for EAGLE files is great.

Conveniently this script is also great for importing images into EAGLE, too.

To use, open brd-builder.py and set the desired variable in the top portion, then run the script.

The input image must be a 1-bit bitmap. In Photoshop this is done by converting to grayscale in Image->Mode->Greyscale and then converting to bitmap in Image->Mode->Bitmap. In GIMP, this is done through the menu in Image->Mode->Indexed. Then save as BMP.

Pre-reqs

pip install image

svg-parse.py

Description

Grabs test/pcb split.svg and converts all objects to CircuitMaker-formatted CSV files for importing into shape objects.

Pre-reqs

pip install svg.path

ole-extract.py

Description

Grabs PCB-sl13nw6fpl4rim5mrg3x-1.PcbLib (a CircuitMaker Library) as an OLE document extracts all binary blobs to the ole folder.

Pre-reqs

pip install olefile

pip install oletools

read-clipboard.py

Description

This doesn't really work, was intended to read binary data in the clipboard.
