gEDA-user: Autogeneration of schematic symbols



This might save some time for somebody.

http://vivara.net/cgi-bin/gschem-digikey.cgi

Enter the digi-key part number and get a gschem component back.

Only rectangular parts (eg DIP) are working now.

The generated component is a simple rectangle with pins numbered
anticlockwise around the part.  So it's more of a starting point than
a finished symbol.

I am taking suggestions for other parts to autogenerate.  Due to the
fuzzy nature of screen-scraping Digi-key listings, it's easier to make
individual parts work (and hopefully do it in a generalized way) and I
don't want to spend effort on parts nobody is going to use.

Regards,
Mark
