Yes!!!!

Lmk if you hit an issue

specifically the last error
CC @DOPΣ @Rishabh , that should be a blob URL
@itsme this will only work on CLI (for now)
thanks for reporting, we'll get on it
how do i reference pins on it?
ah sorryfor the delay- after you add the footprint you should be able to hover over pads to see the pin names
i believe we are able to extract them from the kicad_mod
i think my kicad_mod file doesn't have names. it just references them with the pin numbers


hmm this is a bug on our end if we're not showing the pin number, it might be a simple viewer issue or possible a bug in the converter where it's not adding pin numbers
can you upload the kicad mod file here?
I don't think its a visual error tho. when i try to connect something to
.U1 > .pin1, it doesn't connect to anything.ty we will patch
CC @Techmannih
It's fixed now

Why is it showing a blank tooltip when I hover over the pad?
This works correctly on localhost, but doesn’t appear in the deployed version.

i'm not sure, this is part of what i'm hoping you can look into
