Using this plugin with the current nightly crashes the plugin due to changes how the orientation is stored.

wig/python detected a memory leak of type 'EDA_ANGLE *', no destructor found.

    'rotation': f.GetOrientation() / 10.0,
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'SwigPyObject' and 'float'

The fix is to use the following code instead in current KiCad versions:

'rotation': f.GetOrientation().AsDegrees(),

This isn't an issue (Aisler is awesome and so is your KiCAD plugin!) but I was thinking about how it might make sense to have something like a 'send to Aisler' button that people could embed on their GitHub projects that could easily wrap the source of the project (or maybe even the release artifacts) and push them directly to Aisler, in order to allow people to place order for the PCBs in that repo?

This idea was inspired by our own 'deploy with balena' button which you can use to deploy software with. For example:

It's not always feasible to build and ship hardware at small volumes (especially in 2022!) but this way it would be one click for a user to order an open source PCB design, through Aisler.

Thanks for your great work, big fan of Aisler and how awesome/easy it is to prototype with!

P.S. let me know if this is the wrong place for this feedback!

The upload progress remains stuck:

I get the attached error when loading the PCB editor.

Kicad 6.0 on latest mac OSX

"AttributeError: 'PishForKiCadPlugin' object has no attribute 'dark_icon_file_name'"

Perhaps related to dark mode?

The icon appears as a generic extension icon along the toolbar.

Please support the above-mentioned options so the BOM will not be populated with unneeded components. You can check the JLC repository for a solution: https://github.com/bennymeg/JLC-Plugin-for-KiCad/blob/master/plugins/process.py

 if not footprint.GetAttributes() & pcbnew.FP_EXCLUDE_FROM_POS_FILES:

 if not footprint.GetAttributes() & pcbnew.FP_EXCLUDE_FROM_BOM:

After uploading a project to Aisler.net even if all parts have a perfect matching MPN, the MPN seems not to be fully matched, see screenshot

After going between PCB and Parts the list gets filled up

But only leaving the project and returning to it will give the fully matches list with all known good MPSs that are in the design

While uploading a Board with KiCad6 and 0.13 of the Plugin the process stopps half way. After opening the python console a few error messages will pop up, see screenshot.

If you have any further questions, please ask and i'll try to assist. The project that causes this problem can be found at : https://github.com/calm4git/210043-CO2-Guard

The plugin toolbar icon does not show on a standard flatpak installation on Linux. I have added instructions on how to add the required libraries to the README.

In the normal KiCad gerber export, there is an option which is enabled by default called "Check zone fills before plotting".

This will show a popup if you've modified the board, but forgot to re-fill zones, and prompt you to update the zones.

However, there is no such option or check for this plugin.

This would be useful in preventing PCB errors due to forgetting to re-build copper planes.

I'm not sure whether this is currently possible within a KiCad plugin. Also, not sure if there is some other plugin (like KiKit) which already has this function so you can use it as reference if you decide to implement it.

When trying to upload a project (attached), the following happens:

Hi,

this is not really an issue with the Plugin itself, but rather a generic question. I hope people from aisler can shed some light on the (automated) assembly process of THT parts. I am asking since the kicad libray team is considering changing the rule for the origin of THT parts. The discussion for that is taking place here: https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/klc/-/issues/26

So my main question is:

Is there a rule or preference on how the footprint-origin for THT parts should be for optimal assembly results? Is there a problem with the current 'Pin1-Rule'?

Problem

Many users love that they can use us as a storage backup. So far, when using the legacy upload (using .kicad_pcb), we store the original file. When users use the KiCad Push they however upload all files in an export format. Hence in case of a data loss they would not be able to recover their files

Solution

Upload the .kicad_pcb together with all required files, allowing customers to download that data later.

As the title says. I have uploaded a project to Aisler to test the new plugin, then deleted this project online. One day later I changed some things in Kicad and wanted to upload it to Aisler and got the Error: "Already logged in" ..

That wasn't very useful, but I figured out that I had to delete "AISLER Project ID: xxxxxxxxxx" in Comment 4 in Kicad Leiterplattendesigner (i guess pcb-designer) -> Datei (File) -> Seite einrichten (Setup Page?) - Sorry I run the german version of Kicad.

After that, I could again upload my project, because I guess it got a new ID from Aisler.
