I’m labeling all my PCBs with QR code, pointing to a url where I host all documents of the project (usually generic to my domain and then a redirection, s.t. if e.g. git changes url scheme, it still works).
Is there a way of importing a QR code?
If not, on Altium I’m using this to import it:
https://projects.lapinoo.net/AltiumQR.html
it should be fairly easy to parse this also for horizon IMO.
This is something that can be done with existing tools:
Use the QR code genreator in inkscape with a custom path set to l 0,-.99 l .99,0 l 0,.99. You might want to select the “invert” checkbox if the QR code is put in white silkscreen. Then export the drawing as a DXF.
In Horizon EDA, import the DXF, select the boxes from the QR code and use the “line loop to polygon” tool to convert them into filled polygons. For scaling the QR code, use the “scale” tool. If the QR code is inverted, surround it with polygons so that it can be read properly:
That option unfortunately got removed in the current version of inkscape, see Frequently asked questions — horizon-eda 1.0 documentation for a way that works with newer versions of inkscape.
