chip-fetcher

Download manufacturer-grade chip CAD bundles (STEP + KiCad symbol + KiCad footprint + Altium IntLib + Fusion .lbr + datasheet) into a structured library by driving Chrome via pup on the user's desktop.

What's new in 1.2.23

  • chip-fetcher done — 9-level completeness ladder per chip (PDF → STEP → KiCad → Altium → Fusion → Thumbnails → Validated → Stock → Provenance)
  • Two-layer provenance — every fetched file records discovery_source (where found) + content_origin (who made it)
  • ds2sf + concur integration — autonomous validation loop: extract symbol/footprint from datasheet, cross-validate against KiCad/Altium/EAGLE sources, auto-refetch on divergence
  • Interactive dashboard with card zoom (animated), auto-zoom, validation badges, orientation picker, action buttons, per-element tooltips, live-updating status
  • chip-fetcher scrape — CLI wrapper for pup browser automation with hardcoded profile enforcement
  • chip-fetcher creds — credential vault (list/save/delete) persisted in adom-desktop
  • chip-fetcher pup-pdf-fetch — fetch PDFs through authenticated pup sessions when direct curl fails
  • chip-fetcher pdf-check — sweep all PDFs for HTML masquerade, auto-repair with --repair
  • Programmatic rule enforcement — sources, gate, mfr-probe, next-source, done, hint subcommands with HINT lines
  • DigiKey models playbook — documented /en/models/<id> page with Manufacturer Provided STEP + UL + SnapMagic accordions

Sourcing ladder (enforced by chip-fetcher sources)

  1. Manufacturer's own site (ti.com, nordicsemi.com, nxp.com, st.com, etc.)
  2. SnapEDA / SnapMagic (snapeda.com)
  3. Mouser (adom-mouser search)
  4. DigiKey (adom-digikey search)
  5. Arrow (arrow.com)
  6. CSE / UL — only when mfr links there
  7. LCSC — last resort, avoid
