Generics

Overview

Standard libaries for use in your projects. These include:

• Resistors
• Capacitors
• Inductors
• Diodes
• Transistors
• Interfaces

Installation

Run in the terminal:

```ato install generics``

Add to your ato project:

• Resistors import Resistor from "generics/resistor.ato
• Capacitors import Capacitor from "generics/capacitor.ato
• Inductors import Inductor from "generics/inductor.ato
• Interfaces import Interface from "generics/interface.ato
• etc...

Features

Resistors

The standard libary includes several thousand resistor options. In your ato project, simply specify any requirements and the best resistor will be automatically selected. Example:

import Resistor from "generics/resistor.ato" myResistor = new Resistor myResistor.value = 1000 myResistor.footprint = "R0402" myResistor.tolerance = 10

The solver will find a resistor that has a resistance between 900 and 1100 ohms accounting for tolerance, and a footprint of R0402.

Capacitors

Similar to resistors, just specify the value and footprint and the solver will find the best capacitor for your application.

Inductors

Currently not supported for automatic selection, but you can install any inductor you like using '''ato install''' and then use it in your project.

We strongly reccomend using subclassing for new components, something like this:

import Inductor from "generics/inductor.ato" component MyInductor from Inductor: value = 1000 footprint = "L0402"

Then you can use it in your project like this:

import MyInductor from "myInductor.ato" myInductor = new MyInductor myInductor.value = 1000 myInductor.footprint = "L0402"

Interfaces

Interfaces standardize the way you connect to modules. By implementing an interface from the standard libary, you can be sure that your module will be compatible with any other module that implements the same interface. This makes it easy to share modules between projects and be sure that they will work together.
