- Simplify the process of building a test & programming jig for a KiCAD design.
- Export centroid like data for individual pads
-
Call out a list of pads and vias for use as test points
-
Output in a format that is consistent with kicad-parts-placer.
-
Describe the via or pad to add a test point to
-
Offsets can be added to put the pin off center of the pad
-
Format:
- ref des
- pad
- class
- net
- net class (signal, ground, power, ...)
- ... additional data for other tools
-
Config script
- Defines the classes of contacts.
- Probe type
- Offset
- Vertical position relative to ground pins
-
Vias need to be a separate flow
- net
- class
- x, y roughly (auto chooses the closest point)
