history

Project history and usage

easyeda2kicad is a Python command-line bridge between EasyEDA/LCSC component data and KiCad libraries. It matters in the KiCad packaging ecosystem because it automates the otherwise repetitive symbol, footprint, and 3D-model import work common in JLCPCB/LCSC-centered PCB workflows.

Project history

The public GitHub repository was created in January 2022 and describes the tool as converting LCSC and EasyEDA components into KiCad libraries. The README documents support for KiCad v6 and newer, generated symbol libraries, footprint directories, and 3D model output in WRL and STEP formats.

By the 1.0.1 release in April 2026, release notes show a maturing converter with fixes for EasyEDA geometry edge cases, STEP 3D import, KiCad symbol naming, polygon/pad handling, and CI/tooling updates.

Adoption history

The project is distributed as a Python package and is also packaged by Homebrew and Nix in the input metadata, reflecting adoption by users who want the converter available as a normal CLI rather than only as a cloned script.

How it is used

Typical use is to pass one or more LCSC part IDs and request symbols, footprints, 3D models, or the full set. The README documents default output under a KiCad/easyeda2kicad library directory and optional project-relative 3D model paths for portable KiCad projects.

Why package nerds care

Package maintainers care about easyeda2kicad because it sits at the boundary between web-hosted component catalogs and local EDA library files. Its dependencies, KiCad-version assumptions, and generated file layout all affect whether a packaged CLI actually drops useful artifacts into a designer's workflow.

Timeline

2022: Public GitHub repository created.
2026: v1.0.1 release published with STEP import and numerous converter fixes.
