Footprint file name mismatch with names in kicad
Hi, I'm trying to parse some footprint files from kicad for further development, and I want to search footprint files that are associated to components in a particular schematic file. However, most components seem to have a similar but different footprint name compared with the footprint library, and it cause my searching algorithm to fail. For example, in the netlist file, there are:
.ADD_COM C17 "1,5n" "Capacitors_SMD:C_0805"
But the actual footprint name seems to be "footprints\Capacitor_SMD.pretty\C_0805_2012Metric.kicad_mod" or somewhat. Also, for some of the components, I can barely find the footprint files in the library, such as
.ADD_COM U5 "L298P" "MotorDrivers:L298_PowerSO20"
There are simply no motordriver folders in the library, and I have no idea where to find it.
I'm not quite sure if this is my problem or an issue of the footprint library. The project I use here for example comes from the official "made with kicad" projects, and I guess there should not be problems with it. Meanwhile, the software asked me to "rescue" all the components, and I don't know if it matters with this issue.
