Sorry guys, I got side-tracked with work again.  I finally figured out how to make the repository public:

Look at the post above Dougs. I got round to cleaning up, and putting it on github myself.. I asked Doug to remove the version I sent him, to ease confusion.

Here is the complete code.

Sorry mate, Robin's original message didn't get propagated to the NNTP group and for some reason, even though he posted after me, his message shows up before mine on the Element14 forum.  If I had known that he was putting a repository up, I wouldn't have made mine public.  Once he created his, I set mine back to private.  Since he's the author of the code, it's better that you use his repo...

Hi Robin

That's a lot of work you have done.

Thanks for sharing

Excellent work!

I've been trying to import eagle schematics into Python now that they in XML format.

So far I have a script that can import and return iterable objects for layers and parts.

segments can be itstill need some work

libraries are broken.

If this is at all helpful, you can find it here:

https://github.com/uid89626/Eagle

That's great foxx00!

Here are a couple quick tools I wrote to explore EAGLE files.  The first is

a short Python script that just displays the top few node levels.  Save it

to an executable file (add a shebang if you need it) and put the EAGLE file

name on the command line:

import sys

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

if len(sys.argv)  - read EAGLE XML file" % sys.argv[0]

  sys.exit()

input_file = sys.argv[1]

try:

  input_string = open(input_file).read()

except:

  print "Couldn't read %s..." % input_file

  sys.exit()

try:

  tree = ET.fromstring(input_string)

except:

  print "Couldn't parse file, is this an EAGLE 6 document?"

  sys.exit()

print "%s consists of:" % input_file

for child in tree:

  print child.tag

  for grandchild in child:

    print "  ", grandchild.tag

    if grandchild.tag == "schematic" or grandchild.tag == "board":

      for greatgrandchild in grandchild:

        print "    ",  greatgrandchild.tag

I've been playing around with functional programming lately, so the second

is a quick Scala (Scala is rapidly becoming my favorite language!) script

that gives you node sequences for each of the main file sections, along

with a couple examples of iterating through them (the filename is

hard-coded in this one at the moment, sorry):

import xml.XML

val fileName  = "test.brd"

val eagleFile = XML.loadFile(fileName)

// search for drawing node, then for each child node

// length is zero if not found (e.g. you won't find a

// schematic in a board file...).  Comment out as

// desired to speed things up.

val settings  = eagleFile \ "drawing" \ "settings"

val grid      = eagleFile \ "drawing" \ "grid"

val layers    = eagleFile \ "drawing" \ "layers"

val board     = eagleFile \ "drawing" \ "board"

val schematic = eagleFile \ "drawing" \ "schematic"

print("\n\nUsing xpath to search for layers:\n\n")

for (l <- layers \ "layer" ) println(l)

println

val allLayers = (layers
"layer")

print("\n\nNow iterating through layers in a loop:\n\n")

allLayers.foreach{ l =>

  val layerNumber = (l \ "@number").text

  val name = (l \ "@name").text

  val visible = (l \ "@visible").text

  println(s"Layer $layerNumber, $name, is visible: $visible")

}

I've been using XML Copy Editor and Firstobject XML Editor to display and

edit the files...

Regards,

Doug

Doug,

When I click on the link (I am already logged into my Bitbucket account), I get the following message:

Anton,
