f-forcher / rosettacircuit

Script to transform an electrical circuit schematic diagram made as an ASCII text file to LaTeX with CircuiTikz,

RosettaCircuit

First program in Python

This program read an "ASCII circuit", a text file representing an electrical circuit, and outputs a LaTeX file using CircuiTikz. There are plans to also output SPICE configuration files.

Example:

We want to go from this:

    V1--R1---+---R2--+
             |       |
             |       |    
             m       |    
              OPAMPo-+--V0
             p
             |
             G2

to this

Example usage

From terminal

cd project_folder/
python3 src/rosetta.py Test1

Status

The parser of the ASCII graph is finished (apart from the occasional bug) and it creates an adjacency list of classes Component, which in turn contains the list of other components connected to them. Now we have to write down this list in CircuiTikz or SPICE format.

As for now, the code is quite messy and needs to be refactored (which was to be expected since i made this project also to learn best Python practices).
