KiCon Europe 2026

Wikipedia for Datasheets with Datasheets.md
08/09, 17:10–17:50 (Europe/Berlin), Main Stage

Manufacturer datasheets are PDFs built for human eyes. We parse them into one clean, structured page per component — parameters, pin tables, packages, symbols — that KiCad and your AI tools can read directly.


A practical walkthrough of turning datasheet PDFs into usable library parts: layout recovery and OCR, schema-driven parameter extraction across manufacturers, pin table to symbol generation, footprint matching against the stock KiCad libraries, and provenance so every number links back to its source page. Ends with a live demo — PDF in, symbol and footprint out — and an open API plus MCP server for AI tools.
