Re: gEDA-user: Automatic collection of Digi-Key data

[Charles Lepple <clepple@gmail.com>]

On the topic of Digi-Key integration, here are some scripts that
approach the ordering process from a slightly different angle. (Useful
if you already have symbols built up.)

Here is a sed script that turns Digi-Key part numbers (really,
anything ending in -ND) into HTML links to the online catalog:

http://www.ghz.cc/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/users/clepple/pic/usb/schem/add-form.sed?rev=1.1

The makefile which uses it is here:

http://www.ghz.cc/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/users/clepple/pic/usb/schem/Makefile?rev=1.18&view=auto

(see the line beginning with '%.bom.html')

And a HTML BOM generator for gnetlist:

http://www.ghz.cc/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dev/eda/geda-guile/gnet-html-bom.scm?rev=1.4&view=auto

The basic idea was to generate the HTML BOM, search for part numbers
online, enter those into the schematic, and regenerate the HTML BOM
for easy ordering.

They could all stand to be updated, so let me know if you have any suggestions.
