## Major Achievements 🎉
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 1. Component Library Integration ✅ **COMPLETE**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Problem:** Component placement was blocked - MCP couldn't find KiCAD footprint libraries
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Solution:** Created comprehensive library management system
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Changes:**
|
|
||||||
- Created `python/commands/library.py` (400+ lines)
|
|
||||||
- `LibraryManager` class for library discovery and management
|
|
||||||
- Parses `fp-lib-table` files (global and project-specific)
|
|
||||||
- Resolves environment variables (`${KICAD9_FOOTPRINT_DIR}`, etc.)
|
|
||||||
- Caches footprint lists for performance
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Integrated into `python/kicad_interface.py`
|
|
||||||
- Created `FootprintLibraryManager` on init
|
|
||||||
- Routes to `ComponentCommands` and `LibraryCommands`
|
|
||||||
- Exposes 4 new MCP tools
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**New MCP Tools:**
|
|
||||||
1. `list_libraries` - List all available footprint libraries
|
|
||||||
2. `search_footprints` - Search footprints by pattern (supports wildcards)
|
|
||||||
3. `list_library_footprints` - List all footprints in a library
|
|
||||||
4. `get_footprint_info` - Get detailed info about a footprint
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Results:**
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Auto-discovered 153 KiCAD footprint libraries
|
|
||||||
- ✅ 8,000+ footprints available
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Component placement working end-to-end
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Supports `Library:Footprint` and `Footprint` formats
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Documentation:**
|
|
||||||
- Created `docs/LIBRARY_INTEGRATION.md` (353 lines)
|
|
||||||
- Complete API reference for library tools
|
|
||||||
- Troubleshooting guide
|
|
||||||
- Examples and usage patterns
|
|

### 2. KiCAD 9.0 API Compatibility Fixes ✅ **COMPLETE**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Problem:** Multiple KiCAD 9.0 API breaking changes causing failures
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Fixed API Issues:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Component Operations (`component.py`)
|
|
||||||
```python
|
|
||||||
# OLD (KiCAD 8.0):
|
|
||||||
module.SetOrientation(rotation * 10) # Decidegrees
|
|
||||||
rotation = module.GetOrientation() / 10
|
|
||||||
footprint = module.GetFootprintName()
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# NEW (KiCAD 9.0):
|
|
||||||
angle = pcbnew.EDA_ANGLE(rotation, pcbnew.DEGREES_T)
|
|
||||||
module.SetOrientation(angle)
|
|
||||||
rotation = module.GetOrientation().AsDegrees()
|
|
||||||
footprint = module.GetFPIDAsString()
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Routing Operations (`routing.py`)
|
|
||||||
```python
|
|
||||||
# OLD (KiCAD 8.0):
|
|
||||||
net = netinfo.FindNet(name)
|
|
||||||
zone.SetPriority(priority)
|
|
||||||
zone.SetFillMode(pcbnew.ZONE_FILL_MODE_POLYGON)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# NEW (KiCAD 9.0):
|
|
||||||
nets_map = netinfo.NetsByName()
|
|
||||||
if nets_map.has_key(name):
|
|
||||||
net = nets_map[name]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
zone.SetAssignedPriority(priority)
|
|
||||||
zone.SetFillMode(pcbnew.ZONE_FILL_MODE_POLYGONS)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Zone outline creation:
|
|
||||||
outline = zone.Outline()
|
|
||||||
outline.NewOutline() # MUST create outline first!
|
|
||||||
for point in points:
|
|
||||||
outline.Append(pcbnew.VECTOR2I(x_nm, y_nm))
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Files Modified:**
|
|
||||||
- `python/commands/component.py` - 3 API fixes
|
|
||||||
- `python/commands/routing.py` - 6 API fixes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Known Limitation:**
|
|
||||||
- Zone filling disabled due to SWIG API segfault
|
|
||||||
- Workaround: Zones filled automatically when opened in KiCAD UI
|
|
||||||
- Fix: Will be resolved with IPC backend (Week 3)
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 3. Routing Operations Testing ✅ **COMPLETE**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Status:** All routing operations tested and working with KiCAD 9.0
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Tested Commands:**

|
|
||||||
2. ✅ `route_trace` - Add copper traces
|
|
||||||
3. ✅ `add_via` - Add vias between layers
|
|
||||||
4. ✅ `add_copper_pour` - Add copper zones/pours
|
|
||||||
5. ✅ `route_differential_pair` - Differential pair routing
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Test Results:**
|
|
||||||
- Created test project with nets, traces, vias
|
|
||||||
- Verified copper pour outline creation
|
|
||||||
- All operations work correctly
|

|
|
||||||
### 4. Real-time Collaboration Workflow ✅ **TESTED**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Goal:** Verify "real-time paired circuit board design" mission
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Tests Performed:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Test 1: MCP→UI Workflow
|
|
||||||
1. Created project via MCP (`/tmp/mcp_realtime_test/`)
|
|
||||||
2. Placed components via MCP:
|
|
||||||
- R1 (10k resistor) at (30, 30) mm
|
|
||||||
- D1 (RED LED) at (50, 30) mm
|
|
||||||
3. Opened in KiCAD UI
|
|
||||||
4. **Result:** ✅ Both components visible at correct positions
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Test 2: UI→MCP Workflow
|
|
||||||
1. User moved R1 in KiCAD UI: (30, 30) → (59.175, 49.0) mm
|
|
||||||
2. User saved file (Ctrl+S)
|
|
||||||
3. MCP read board via Python API
|
|
||||||
4. **Result:** ✅ New position detected correctly
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Current Capabilities:**
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Bidirectional sync (via file save/reload)
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Component placement (MCP→UI)
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Component reading (UI→MCP)
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Position/rotation updates (both directions)
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Value/reference changes (both directions)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Current Limitations:**
|
|
||||||
- Manual save required (UI changes)
|
|
||||||
- Manual reload required (MCP changes)
|
|
||||||
- ~1-5 second latency (file-based)
|
|
||||||
- No conflict detection
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Documentation:**
|
|
||||||
- Created `docs/REALTIME_WORKFLOW.md` (350+ lines)
|
|
||||||
- Complete workflow documentation
|
|
||||||
- Best practices for collaboration
|
|
||||||
- Future enhancements planned
|
|
||||||

## Migration Guide
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### From 2.0.0-alpha.2 to 2.1.0-alpha
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Users:**
|
|
||||||
1. No changes required! Just update:
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
git pull
|
|
||||||
npm run build
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. New capabilities available:
|
|
||||||
- Search for footprints before placement
|
|
||||||
- Use `Library:Footprint` format
|
|
||||||
- Let AI suggest footprints
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Developers:**
|
|
||||||
1. If you're working on component operations:
|
|
||||||
- Use `EDA_ANGLE` for rotation
|
|
||||||
- Use `GetFPIDAsString()` for footprint names
|
|
||||||
- Use `NetsByName()` for net lookup
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. If you're adding library features:
|
|
||||||
- See `python/commands/library.py` for examples
|
|
||||||
- Use `LibraryManager.find_footprint()` for lookups
|
