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.

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.

pip install image

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

pip install svg.path

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

pip install olefile

pip install oletools

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