Schrune

Schrune is a small hardware description language for building schematics, PCB projects, and reusable part libraries for KiCad.

Install

npm install schrune

This package installs the schrune command.

Usage

schrune build path/to/design.schrune
schrune add C29823

Build

schrune build example3/example3.schrune

Build mode compiles a .schrune file, resolves parts, and writes KiCad output next to the source file:

• KiCad/<name>.kicad_pro
• KiCad/<name>.kicad_sch
• KiCad/<name>.kicad_pcb
• <name>.BOM.csv

Useful flags:

• --keep-js writes the intermediate Step 1 JavaScript files
• --no-parts-lock skips the autogenerated parts lock file

Add

schrune add C29823

add imports an LCSC part into the local parts/ tree. It requires the Python easyeda2kicad package to be available in a usable interpreter.

If you need to install that dependency into the current Python environment:

npm run setup:easyeda2kicad

If your system needs a specific interpreter, set EASYEDA2KICAD_PYTHON before running the setup script.

Syntax

See docs/syntax.md for the language reference and docs/cli.md for the CLI details.
