# kle-pcb-generator

This is a Node script which can transform JSON files from Keyboard-Layout-Editor into Autodesk EAGLE scripts which will generate a schematic and board for a given keyboard layout.

## features

- SMD or THT diodes

- Alps, Alps-MX, Choc, Choc X, or Hotswap switches

- Variable width/height keys

- Stabilizers for >= 2U keys

- Traditional or duplex matrix wiring

## not supported

- Rotated keys

- Stepped keys (ISO enter)

- MCU placement/wiring

## prerequisites

- [Node.JS 16](https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-gallium/)

- [Clueboard Eagle libraries](https://github.com/clueboard/eagle_libs)

- Autodesk EAGLE

## usage

First, clone this repo. Then, open a terminal in the clone directory. Execute

```sh

npm i

```

Then, to run the script, use

```sh

node src/index.js example.json

```

Where example.json is a KLE JSON file in the same directory.

To get a list of the diodes and switches you can use, run `node src/index.js parts`.

## examples

Here is a numpad schematic:
