Sorry to necro this, but more folks need to be aware of and use this project.
I just stumbled on this tool and it looks very promising. But, being a noob, I have failed to convince it to function correctly for me.
Issues
I uploaded perhaps a half dozen JSON files files from the Keyboard Layout Editor, but a few of them do not render at all and one rendered incorrectly, no matter which Project Options I chose.
For instance:
My Kyria layout will not render at all, nor did another layout that I am currently working on, which is a 60% ortholinear layout that resembles a Planck, but with staggered columns. In each case I received an error message that wasn't particularly helpful. Here is an example:
{ "exc_message": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n File \"/kicad/src/tasks.py\", line 69, in generate_kicad_project\n log_path = kicad.new_pcb(task_id, task_request, __update_percentage)\nException: Preview render failed\n", "exc_type": "Exception" }
My Iris layout does render, but both haves of this split board render as one single, large PCB, instead of two separate pieces. I suppose that this makes sense and I should have submitted this layout one half (one PCB) at a time..
Other layouts, such as a standard 60% and a Cherry 1800 layout render just fine.
That said, of all of the layouts that did render, I had a problem when clicking on the "Download Project" button. In each case, all I received was a zero length file. I tried temporarily disabling my firewall, but this brought me no joy.
Anywho, this is a brilliant project that more folks should be test driving, so I thought that I'd offer some feedback.
Thanks for your efforts!!!
