NOTE : This is meant to be a demo of the old version of the code (developed around 2019)

TO run this build of ZPPicGen.py:

• You will need python installed (pip/python, pip3/python3)
• You will need pandas / PIL
  • install --> pip install pandas --> python -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
  • may need to update pip
• or compile using PyInstaller or other python executable packager
• The zip file includes the necessary files to run the program for BaseName <42221-100-91>
• command in Windows 10 cmd, or Linux
  • python ZPPicGen.py Component_Dimensions.csv 42221-100-91

File information:

• The included BaseName is 42221-100-91
• The BaseName is just a file naming scheme to organize sets of input files
• The board image names are " Top.png" and " Bottom.png"
  • each board has a bottom and top layer so each board has 2 images
• The Component_Dimensions.csv file just lists the (x,y) dimensions of the electrical components
  • This file was modified and added to many times to include new components or resize existing ones
• The config.csv file specifies which components to draw onto the board
  • It also designates how many images to generate, which components will go on which page, and what color the components will be drawn in
• The pnp.csv file is a database file that contains information about the components
• The missing.csv file will include any components contained in the config file but not found in the pnp.csv database
• The coord.csv designates where the corners of the board is located.

Optional Arguments:

• [-p] Specify an absolute PATH for input files.
• [-t] tars input files and places them into _input_files.tar. (Works for Windows but not linux)
  • In order for this to run properly, use the [-p] option to specify the path you want the tar file to be generated in.
  • For .gz compression, need to make small change to tar codeblock at bottom of script.
  • Also later builds are able to read the input files from a _input_files.tar file.
• [-d] Generates a _ResistorValues.csv file.
  • This file contains useful information about the resistors in the pnp.csv file
  • Was helpful to some engineers who worked at DDES
