404error

Currently, EasyEDA "No Solid" zones are converted to KiCad keepout zones which do not allow copper pours, tracks or vias. EasyEDA seems to permit tracks/vias in these zones, so we should also allow them in KiCad

Using the online converter, I am getting "Warning: unsupported shape PAD" errors

Subsequently, the pads in question do not show up on the kicad export.

As footprints export doesn't work as seen in #32 , these footprints were put on a board before export.

Tried converting this PCB https://easyeda.com/editor#id=fb9c78147b8a4a56ba6e0303a6dab62d|1153f3c588764d92b3224a7e64d7838e

For details: #15 (comment)

KiCad only support line lengths up to 1,000,000 characters.

In case of complex PCBs, we generate files with longer lines, e.g.:
line-length-exceeded.zip

This can be fixed by adding some new lines when generating the output.

Hi, i export my easyeda files to json, then convert them into kicad, when i try to open de kicad file i get this error

I dont know what it means, can you explain me the error please? or what can i do to fix it.

thanks.

Description:
I tried to convert one of my projects to KiCAD and the process seems to be successful (lots of warnings though). When I try to open the generated kicad_pcb file I get this error message and it refuses to go further.

Expected result:
Should be able to open the generated KiCAD pcb file without issues.

I was able to npm install -g easyeda2kicad, but when I try to build it I am getting errors. I can run the program without issues, but when building to typescript it does not work.

I have made changes to the conversions of holes to via's and I would like to create a pull request, but since I cannot build, I cannot pull.

It's possible that I did something wrong.

I was able to import this project into vscode and debug it (to test my converter). It would really be useful for others.

Thanks

Description:
It seems that this QFN 48 package is rotated 180 degree after conversion. This happens with other SMD components on the board also like some decoupling capacitors around the QFN 48 IC.

Expected result:
Should have the right rotation for component packages after conversion.

Please see attached screenshots.

After conversion:

Original:

EasyEDA project:
Touch_Switch_2ch.zip

I tested it using latest master code as it was now at this time of writing.

How to reproduce the error:

1. Open LCSC parts catalog and find, for example, component C319164 (micro USB female):
   https://lcsc.com/product-detail/USB-Connectors_XKB-Connectivity-U254-051T-4BH23-S2B_C319164.html/
2. Open EasyEDA model by clicking "EasyEDA Model" button and save the EasyEDA board source code.
3. Then try to convert this EasyEDA board to KiCad using this tool.
4. You will see "Conversion failed: Error: Missing layer id: 100"

Description:
Seems that when dealing with an outline that follows an arc path then after conversion the contour is not enclosed properly.
Here I have an example of an arc and a segment that closes the path. At a first glance the arc seems to be rotated thus breaking up the connection with the enclosing segment/line.

Expected result:
PCB outline path should be fully closed.

See attached pictures.

Some PCBs cause an "Missing layer id: 99" error, e.g. missing-layer-99.zip

Description:
Seems that after the conversion the no copper zones are not taken into consideration and I get a full copper fill for the board. This happens for both sides of the board. See attached pictures and the original project file.

Expected result:
No copper zones should be respected after conversion.

Small note:

• The "no copper" zones are stacked over the "full copper" zones creating the subtraction effect in the original design.

Thanks for you contribution!

I have three different JOSN files I tried converting. All of which have multiple lines of the same error type.. 20-100 error code lines! Can you PM me an email I can send the files to? Thanks

Currently, we only convert layer numbers 1...15.

Looking at an EasyEDA board file, it seems like the inner layers are numbered starting from 21:

    "21~Inner1~#999966~false~false~false~~",
    "22~Inner2~#008000~false~false~false~~",
    "23~Inner3~#00FF00~false~false~false~~",
    "24~Inner4~#BC8E00~false~false~false~~",
    "25~Inner5~#70DBFA~false~false~false~~",
    ...

Thus, we need to find the corresponding layer names in KiCad, and probably also add them to the generated layers array in the output file.

Description:
If I have in the original design a solid copper region created say for a MOSFET cooling and/or for high current paths which are not tied to GND then those aren't being translated.

Expected result:
The solid region tied to MOSFET drain pad should be present on both sides of the PCB.

See attached pictures.

all pcb file has one footprint , but it also has wrong . maby the lceda's footprintf format has changed

It should be better to use EasyEDA package name according to KiCAD footprint name.

Thank you. It's quite a excellent tool. That can convert easyeda pcb file to kicad, include netlist.
Is there any way to covert PCB file to schematic file? Or directly convert schematic from easyeda?

I have an issue where plated thru hole pad is converted into via on Kicad. The pad doesn't belong to any component, it's just added via Easyeda toolbox (keyboard shortcut P). Pads that belong to component (eg. pin header) is converted correctly.

I tried converting a couple of keyboard PCBs but I got these errors:

In some cases, the EasyEDA board file is missing the routerRule object with the list of nets. This currently results in no nets being converted. An example for such case is the board from #28.

We should be able to reconstruct the list of nets as we go over the PCB tracks/pads, and save this information in the converted kicad file.

2. Open EasyEDA model by clicking "EasyEDA Model" button and export the EasyEDA PCB as JSON.
3. Then try to convert this EasyEDA JSON to KiCad PCB using this tool.
4. Open in KiCAD PCBNew. (Looks good)
5. Hit Alt+3 to view 3D model preview, and see how their is no drill holes for the footprint.

Maybe this is expected from the converter tool. Do I need to further edit the footprint to add drill holes?

Hi!

Thanks for the COOL tool!

I've just tried your online tool with one of my designs (attached below) and found some minor problems.

1. The placement of the silk screen texts are off, which is unfortunate as it requires additional manual effort to cleanup the board. As this is a board for experimentations, having correctly placed texts is quite important. Probably what you meant with "... with the exception of texts which may look a bit different."

2. While importing, I got several messages like:
   Warning: unsupported shape SVGNODE in footprint gge4bb415021ae37c69
   Probably correspondingly, I'm missing the OSHW logo in the silk screen in the middle of both sides of the board.
   ... seems to be already mentioned in bug #42

3. There a some strange texts (e.g. gge638a534c459c248c) in the Cmts.User layer. The texts can also be found in the original .json file, so I suspect this is caused by some "unfiltered content".

Anyway, thanks for putting all the work into this!

Regards, ULFL

P.S: Have you thought about putting this to upstream Kicad? While they are currently busy fixing bugs for the 6.0 release, this seems to be a valuable extension for the future!

P.P.S: PCB .json

Footprints are always exported with orientation value of 0. This causes issues when exporting a pick-n-place file from the KiCad PCB file

Description:
I tried to convert one of my projects to KiCAD using this utility but it generates pads with wrong orientation for QFN packages (pads seem to be rotated 90 degree).

Expected result:

This tool looks awesome!

I'm able to build it easily, but I have friends that are less software-inclined and the source-only releases are a barrier-to-entry for them using your great tool.

Would you be open to adding releases as part of the Github Actions CI?

If you'd like, I could submit a PR, but I wanted to test the waters first.

Hi.

I developed a simple PCB that I'd like to import in FreeCAD using this addon which seems to works great with some .kicad_pcb files from a KiCad project.

I can generate my EasyEDA file "input.json" an get the "output.kicad_pcb" in both Node library on my pc and the online converter. But FreeCAD can't open the file. As I pointed out it seems to work just fine with another directly generated .kicad_pcb files so I don't think the issue is the addon.

I got two warnings:

Running easyeda2kicad v1.8.0:

Warning: unsupported shape SVGNODE in footprint gge5701536e7eb809af

Conversion done!

I can make FreeCAD open the file if I open the "output.kicad_pcb" in KiCad and save it as another file. The input.json, output.kicad_pcb and the savedAsWorking.kicad_pcb files are attached. It may be an enhancement once it works to open the output in Kicad. But it would be really nice to have this converter to works just like a KiCad "Save as ..". Anyway thank you so much for your time and let me know if I can help you with more info.
