I symlink the action plugin files into the Kicad 6 plug-in dir. Something like this does the trick:
ln -s /full/path/to/4ms-kicad-script/makefp/kicad-6-plugin/* /full/path/to/KiCad/6.0/scripting/plugins/
Also, keep in mind you have to copy the faceplate_footprint_lib_TEMPLATE.py
file, rename it faceplate_footprint_lib.py
, and then edit the new file with the path to your 4ms_Faceplate.pretty
library
from 4ms-kicad-script.
Alright, I'm on windows, so heres the command for anyone else who might want it (maybe put in the README?)
mklink X:\full\path\to\4ms-kicad-script\makefp\kicad-6-plugin\* X:\full\path\to\KiCad\6.0\scripting\plugins\
RUN WITH ADMIN, REPLACE X: WITH DRIVE LETTER

I tried the normal install, but it only worked for the faceplate generator, and only partly
from 4ms-kicad-script.
I'm on windows, but there is something similar, I'll close this issue once I test it. (I do plan to dual-boot)

@danngreen May I ask a few things?
- What KiCAD theme do you use? I saw it, and it looks pretty cool!
- What Linux Distro do you use?
- What software do you use?
- How do I prototype with thonkiconn? I ordered some of the breadboard friends, but they were the wrong size for my breadboard
from 4ms-kicad-script.
- I customized some of the colors from the Nord theme so it looked good on my screen. I use different colors for my different computers since the screens are different. And I often change the opacity and sometimes the colors as I work, depending on what layers I want to highlight at the moment.
- Mostly macOS
- Not sure what you mean... software for what?
- We use the PJ398SM jacks from WQP, which I think might be the same ones Thonk sells (I'm not sure, though, you'd have to ask Thonk). For using with a breadboard, my tip is to solder wires to the jack and then stick the wires in the breadboard. Use solid wire, not stranded. Another tip is to use an old faceplate and mount the jacks to that. Then you can keep all your jacks together, and if the wires are long enough, you can even mount the faceplate to a case.

I mean software to make synthesizers (I'll work on stuff in a little)
from 4ms-kicad-script.
Also, where do you buy the jacks? I would buy some more jacks, but the shipping is ridiculous

@danngreen I'm going to do the symlinks right now
from 4ms-kicad-script.
Synthcube, Modular Addict, and a few other places sell parts for eurorack modules.
from 4ms-kicad-script.
I live pretty close to ModularAddict (but not in the same state), so I'll see if maybe I can order from them (when they have it in stock)
from 4ms-kicad-script.
Thanks for that. I updated the makefp README in 5e4ea21
from 4ms-kicad-script.
OK to close this issue?
from 4ms-kicad-script.
Yes, but actually revert that, windows has a lot of problems with symlinks that makes that command not work @danngreen
from 4ms-kicad-script.
So actually re-opened I guess! 🤦
from 4ms-kicad-script.
Ah ok. I'll remove it.
from 4ms-kicad-script.
I think that maybe there should be a bash and batch script for making all of the symlinks?
from 4ms-kicad-script.
I'm making a PR for it, I'll post the number in a second
from 4ms-kicad-script.
I'm on linux, so I'm testing it right now
