As noted in the footprint pull request, I've begun work on the right-angled version of this script. I'm also working on a more generic Razor Beam script. A few of the LSHM footprints already exist in the official library, but my script will be able to implement all of the vertical LSHM, LSS, and LSEM parts. |

Here's my current progress on this PR
Needless to say, the scope of this PR has expanded since its original introduction. |

@chschlue Should I make a separate PR for the dict inheritance script so it can be added to the main repo sooner? |
|
Yes, please. |
- Delete BasicBladeAndBeam_Vertical.yaml
dict_tools.py:
Add support for "+key" parameters in the b argument that are added
to the corresponding "key" in a. This makes it possible to extend
existing objects (such as list or str) or add to numeric objects
QStrip_Vertical.py:
- Outdated block comment
- "add-tags" special case
QStrip_Vertical.json
- "add-tags" paramters
+ "layout": {"+tags"} parameters
RazorBeam_Vertical.py:
+ dictInherit() support
- Special cases made unnecessary by "+key" support it dictMerge()
Create RazorBeam_Vertical.json: LSHM, LSS, and LSEM footprint specs

Fixed: pin placement/numbering error introduced in 19a4add Changed: simplify plane pad code in preparation to add Q2 support
Not adding any new footprint pattern. Just expanded pin variations.
I wrote this script (and YAML file) to generate nearly every common vertical configuration of the Samtec Q Strip and Q Pairs connector families. It was developed as a result of my work in the kicad-footprint-library. I tried to make the code and data files as clean as possible so that they can hopefully be used as a solid starting point for future contributions.
This PR also contains a hack to work around #395. This was necessary in order get the the script to run.
