The scripts inside this folder are used to generate the symbols.txt and footprints.txt list, which Part-DB uses to provide autocomplete on Kicad symbol and footprints fields.
The lists are created from the latest master branch of the kicad library.
Attention: These scripts rely heavily on regex expressions to extract the names. If KiCad changes formats, this scripts will most likely break.
Just run ./gen_footprints_list.sh and/or ./gen_symbols_list.sh and the process will start. At the end you will end up with fresh lists.
