Folder Trimmer 📁✂️

Description 📝

Folder Trimmer is a tool designed to help clean up unnecessary files from folders, specifically targeting KiCad files for now. Useful for saving space from autogenerated clutter and preparing projects for distribution.

Current Functionality ⚙️

Trimming KiCad Files: The script removes specific unwanted files from a KiCad project folder based on predefined patterns. Copying Files: It copies files from the target folder to a new folder called "trim," excluding files that match the trim patterns.

Usage 🚀

  1. Clone the Repository
text
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/folder-trimmer.git
cd folder-trimmer
  1. Run the Script
text
python folder_trimmer.py

You will be prompted to enter the path to the target folder. The script will then process this folder, copying files to a "trim" folder and removing any files that match the trim patterns.

Future Plans 🔮

  • GUI Development: Adding a graphical user interface to make the tool more user-friendly.
  • Support for Other Formats: Extending functionality to handle different types of files and formats, such as Matlab/Simulink and Altium.

Questions

How big is the Heart PCB?

It measures 36.5 × 28.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Heart use?

13 parts, built around the NE555D and BD136. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Heart KiCad files?

From the AlexLymbo/Folder-Trimmer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is test-trim/heart.kicad_pcb and its schematic test-trim/heart.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Heart design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AlexLymbo before reusing the design.
