These scripts generate footprints for common switches used in keyboard applications, they include user drawing to aid the layout.
I understand the scripts might not be in great shape, my python is rough. Open to some feedback.
There is an issue with these scripts (or KicadModTree itself) it can be visualized in the second picture, it seems the
offset=[x,y]
seems to not be taken into account like it should inkicad_mod.append(Pad(number=2, type=Pad.TYPE_THT, shape=Pad.SHAPE_OVAL, at=[-3.81,-2.54], size=[4.46156,2.5], rotation=48, offset=[0.980778,0], drill=1.5, layers=['*.Cu', 'B.Mask']))
any input?
