ABACOM - ELECTRONIC SOFTWARE

I scaned the 3 qrcode images you generated, the results correct.

but why it looks different?
my Iphone can only scan the black one. Not the QR in Sprint Layout

The qrcode feature of IPhone camera is not very smart (less tolerance).

I tested with iPhone.
Found that iPhone can recognized both 2 images If I increased the grid size of Sprint-Layout to 5.08mm.

There are many parameters for QR code generation, and different parameters will produce different images, but all of them are valid.
For example, all of 4 images follows are generated from a same text string, but with the different error correction levels.

ok thx for info

@cdhigh:

I will test the advanced features later, but for the time being I have just imported a few SMD footprints from Kicad, and your plugin is excellent !!
A must-have plugin: congratulations !!

Amazing plugin, you've implemented the features that were really missing in Sprint Layout! Thanks for sharing, cdhigh!

This plugin is so amazing : it allows us to import any footprint from the huge Kicad librairy....

I have been using it since it has been released (v1.5.2), to import the "name of footprint.kicad_mod" files, from Kicad 6.0 , but I have recently tried to import a "kicad_mod" file from Kicad 8.0, and I have an error (impossible to parse ...).

Did I make a mistake, or do you also face problems by importing footprints from Kicad 8.0 ?

Thanks

Have you tried the latest version?

Not yet, but I made a wrong manipulation, so the version 1.5.2. does work for importing the Footprints from Kicad 8.0.

What is the procedure for upgrading Sprinfont from version 1.5.2 to 1.5.4 ?

Thanks and congratulations again for this must have plugin !

Released v1.6.
Added feature: inverted font background (negative font image).

Thanks @cdhigh very good developments are happening.

Congratulations for this wonderful plugin !

It increases the features of SprintLayout by a huge margin, it is a must have plugin !

As we say in French: "Bravo" ...

Update to v1.8: Introducing two fun new features

https://github.com/cdhigh/sprintFontRel ... s/tag/v1.8

• Export to KiCad (with fully editable PCB elements)

• Export to OpenSCAD (3D model)

The value of the KiCad export speaks for itself.

But what’s the use of exporting to OpenSCAD? I honestly don't know—maybe just for fun

• Perhaps it could help with 3D modeling for enclosures or panels?

• You can use OpenSCAD to further convert files to STL, SVG, DXF, PDF, etc.

• Maybe it could be used to generate G-code for CNC or 3D printing?

• A pseudo-3D preview of the PCB?
