OpenPnP script to apply global rotation offset to board

This script applies a rotation offset such as -90° to every component in a OpenPNP .board.xml file.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import argparse
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

def rotate_placements(board_file, rotation_offset):
    tree = ET.parse(board_file)
    root = tree.getroot()

    for placement in root.iter('placement'):
        location = placement.find('location')
        if location is not None:
            rotation = float(location.get('rotation', 0))
            new_rotation = (rotation + rotation_offset) % 360
            location.set('rotation', str(new_rotation))
            print(rotation, new_rotation)

    tree.write(board_file, encoding="utf-8", xml_declaration=True)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Rotate placements in an OpenPnP board.xml file")
    parser.add_argument("board_file", type=str, help="Path to the board.xml file")
    parser.add_argument("-r", "--rotation-offset", required=True, type=float, help="Rotation offset in degrees")

    args = parser.parse_args()

    rotate_placements(args.board_file, args.rotation_offset)

LumenPnP: Always assign the same serial port number on Linux

It is certainly a hassle when you always have to re-configure OpenPnP to open the correct serial device for LumenPnP.

In order to fix, this, we’ll create an alias /dev/lumenpnp that points to /dev/ttyACM0 or /dev/ttyACM1 or any other port that gets assigned to LumenPnP. Create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lumenpnp.rules:

ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="0483", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="5740", SYMLINK+="lumenpnp"

Now, reload udev to activate the rule:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

Now, open ~/.openpnp2/machine.xml, find this line:

<serial line-ending-type="LF" port-name="ttyACM0" baud="115200" ...

and set port-name to lumenpnp:

<serial line-ending-type="LF" port-name="lumenpnp" baud="115200" ...

After this, you need to restart OpenPnP. Typically, it works without reconnecting the device (due to udevadm trigger). If it doesn’t work, unplug and re-plug the mainboard USB connector.
