From d2d33fff5766b7f0c19e924ffaf2e7da73a89b51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Malloy Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 23:15:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix schematic generator pin positions using actual .asy data MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The .asc schematic templates had wrong pin offsets, causing LTspice to extract netlists with disconnected (NC_*) nodes and singular matrix errors. Fixed by reading pin positions from the .asy symbol files and applying the correct CCW rotation transform: R90 maps (px, py) → (-py, px). Pin offsets: voltage (+0,+16)/(+0,+96), res (+16,+16)/(+16,+96), cap (+16,+0)/(+16,+64). Added pin_position() helper and _PIN_OFFSETS table for reuse by all layout functions. Verified end-to-end: generate_rc_lowpass → simulate → bandwidth gives 1587.8 Hz vs theoretical 1591.5 Hz (0.24% error). --- src/mcp_ltspice/asc_generator.py | 207 +++++++++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 128 insertions(+), 79 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/mcp_ltspice/asc_generator.py b/src/mcp_ltspice/asc_generator.py index 7317ab6..1c7d4d3 100644 --- a/src/mcp_ltspice/asc_generator.py +++ b/src/mcp_ltspice/asc_generator.py @@ -1,8 +1,9 @@ """Programmatic LTspice .asc schematic file generation.
