okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for cvpcb π pull up a chair, this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic.
πΈ NAME πΈ
cvpcb β assign components to a netlist. that's it, that's the whole vibe π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
cvpcb [netlist]
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea, bestie β cvpcb lets you take every single component that shows up in the netlist and match it up with a component footprint β the thing that's actually gonna represent it on a PCB π«Ά then it takes that info and adds it right back into the netlist. like a little glow-up for your component list, no cap β¨
literally: component goes in, footprint gets assigned, netlist comes out the other side knowing exactly how it's gonna look on the board π
