Can I do this using command prompt about exportjson HOT 21 CLOSED

Github removes the important thing ...

Within a string a " needs to be escaped by a \. So the solution is

"\"pin\": \"" pinNumber "\"" 

from exportjson.

If I have a folder of brd files can I automate the json export of them?

from exportjson.

Is there anyway I could run a command on windows command prompt to export the json? The export to html in one step code you had. Where do I put that?

You have to create your own procedure / *.il file it is just a code snippet. And yes you can automate it, but for this you need to write custom code.

Maybe there is a way using python and the command line, but I do not know how this could be done. I would use skill, because the export has to be done from the allegro editor anyway.

Hey, is there anyway I can extract the pins associated with each component?

from exportjson.

Hi,
if you take a look at the .json-file, you can see, that all pins associated to a component are grouped (search for "footprints:").
If this is what you need, you can use the addFootprint function and change it to your needs.

Regards!

Thanks, Now I want the pin number of these associated pins. Is there a way to add this information to the json and still allow the json to work for the interactiveHTMLBom?

from exportjson.

I'm not sure, but you could test it, if you add the line to your code. You could use the pinNumber property and add it to the pad definition.

from exportjson.

hi, I appreciate the help btw. So i am using the pinNumber property and it fills in some of the pins as empty strings whihc is causing a parsin error in the jsons. Im guessing its because they dont have pin numbers. How would I fix this so even if there is no pinNumber I wont get a parsing issue in the json?

from exportjson.

you could or you should check if the pinNumber is not nil and set a default, if the pinNumber has no value.
This can be done by:

if( pinNumber then
   ; set the pinNumber
else 
  ; set a default value
)

I hope this helps ...

from exportjson.

okay so the issue is actually with the type cast of pinNumber. How do I insert the pinNumber value so it gets parsed? I guess unless it is a number it isnt working. For example if a pin is G14 Im getting the error

from exportjson.

Try this 'sprintf( nil "%L pinNumber )'

from exportjson.

where should I insert this? When I tried to replace just where I referenced "pinNumber" with that line I got this error

wait I figured it out, pad = strcat(
""layers": " layers ",\n"
""pos": " pos ",\n"
""size": " size ",\n"
""angle": " angle ",\n"
""shape": " shape ",\n"
""net": " net ",\n"
""type": " type ",\n"
""pin": " pinNumber
)
this is how I added pin number, now the issue is that the actual pin vlaue number doesnt come out in quotes like the rest do. How do I make the value come in quotes. Fro example:
"layers": ["B"],
"pos": [ 2430.940000, 25.580000],
"size": [ 38.000000, 38.000000],
"angle": 0.000000,
"shape": "circle",
"net": "L/G",
"type": "smd",
"pin": G16

this is how it come out but it should be "pin": "G16"

from exportjson.

Yes, you need to add the quotation marks by " within the string.

""pin:" "" punNumber """

from exportjson.

sorry that was the output this is the code, getting a few errors with quotes

pad = strcat(
""layers": " layers ",\n"
""pos": " pos ",\n"
""size": " size ",\n"
""angle": " angle ",\n"
""shape": " shape ",\n"
""net": " net ",\n"
""type": " type ",\n"
""pin": " pinNumber
)
how would I change it here sorry

from exportjson.

It is still coming out like this. I was hoping it would come out like this: "pin": "G12"

from exportjson.

is there anyway for me to define pinNumber or pin->number as a string?

from exportjson.

It is already a string, since you are using the strcat ... there is something wrong in your code ... please have a look at this line. You have to do it the same way, except, that you have to use your variable pinNumber instead of circle.

from exportjson.

ahhhh yes it finally worked thank you so much for helping me so much.
