BUG

Concise problem statement:

EasyEDA says "bad file type when trying to import KiCAD module

Steps to reproduce bug:

  1. Go to "Import"

  2. Choose any .kicad_mod file and select respective option in the list

  3. Click on Import

Results:

Message box "bad file type"

Expected results:

Browser:

Chrome Version 51.0.2704.103 (64-bit), OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

I am attaching one of the failing files (file name is Servo_Pad.kicad_mod)

(module Servo_Pad (layer F.Cu) (tedit 5623BE4C)
  (fp_text reference REF** (at 0 -2.032) (layer F.SilkS)
    (effects (font (size 1 1) (thickness 0.15)))
  )
  (fp_text value Servo_Pad (at 0 1.778) (layer F.Fab)
    (effects (font (size 1 1) (thickness 0.15)))
  )
  (pad 1 thru_hole circle (at -3.81 0) (size 2.032 2.032) (drill 1.016) (layers *.Cu *.Mask F.SilkS))
  (pad 2 thru_hole circle (at 0 0) (size 2.032 2.032) (drill 1.016) (layers *.Cu *.Mask F.SilkS))
  (pad 3 thru_hole circle (at 3.81 0) (size 2.032 2.032) (drill 1.016) (layers *.Cu *.Mask F.SilkS))

Hi,
We will fix it soon, because your file is the new version of Kicad.
We just support the old version

Thanks. Unfortunately there is no way to convert new version to the old one in KiCAD so I'll have to wait for your fix...

But, if you can attach your file at here, we can make this done faster.

Sure, thanks Dillon! Here is the one I particularly would like to import: https://www.dropbox.com/s/idb5o7s8mc5fqpp/Arduino-Pro-Mini-Chinese.kicad_mod

And of course the feature in general would be nice. Especially because it is already stated as working on EasyEDA site ;)

We need some time to read the new file format, but I can find some for you

@dillon Thanks, I noticed that one :) It is slightly different as every manufacturer seems to be devising his very own pinout :) But it will not stop me from using it so take your time with the fix, no rush. As a software developer myself I know that fixes take time :)

Thank you again,

Igor
