## 01 - Bare-bones example
|
|
|
|
* Minimum working example
|
|
* Only 1-to-1 sequential wiring
|
|
|
|
|
|

## 02 - Adding parameters and colors
|
|
|
|
* Parameters for connectors and cables
|
|
* Auto-calculate equivalent AWG from mm2
|
|
* Non-sequential wiring
|

## 03 - Pinouts, shielding, templates (I)
|
|
|
|

|
|
* Cable color codes
|
|
* Cable shielding, shield wiring
|
|
* Templates
|
|
|

## 04 - Templates (II), notes, American standards, daisy chaining (I)
|
|
|
|
* Overriding template parameters
|
|
* Add nodes to connectors and cables
|
|
* American standards: AWG gauge and IEC colors
|
|
* Linear daisy-chain
|
|
* Convenient for shorter chains
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
connectors:
|
|

## 05 - Ferrules, wire bundles, custom wire colors
|
|
|
|
* Ferrules
|
|
* Simpler than connectors
|
|
* Compact graphical representation
|
|
* Only one pin, only one connection, no designator
|
|
* Define once, auto-generate where needed
|
|
* Wire bundles
|
|
* Internally treated as cables
|
|
* Different treatment in BOM: Each wire is listed individually
|
|
* Represented with dashed outline
|
|
* Custom wire colors
|
|
* Wirecount can be implicit in color list
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
connectors:
|
|
X1:
|
|
pinlabels: [+12V, GND, GND, +5V]
|
|

|
## 06 - Custom ferrules
|
|
|
|
* Custom ferrules
|
|
* Allows attaching more than one wire to a ferrule
|
|
* Requires defining them as regular connectors with unique designators, adding `category: ferrule` parameter
|
|
|
|

## 08 - Part numbers and additional components
|
|
|
|
* Part number information can be added to parts
|
|
* Only provided fields will be added to the diagram and bom
|
|
* Bundles can have part information specified by wire
|
|
* Additional parts can be added to components or just to the bom
|
|
* quantities of additional components can be multiplied by features from parent connector or cable

## 09 - Hidden wire information and using a template for nice display as a DIN6771 document
|
|
|
|
What will this 'tutorial' show you?
|
|
|
|
##Hidden wire information
|
|
* Sometimes the box around the wire will be distrating
|
|
* unfurtionaly some fields can not (yet) be suppressed:
|
|
length
|
|
gauge
|
|
color_code
|
|
manufacturer
|
|
mpn
|
|
supplier
|
|
spn
|
|
pn
|
|
##Nice uniform template
|
|
* Formatting the end result in a DIN-6771 template makes for a very nice result.
|
|
* using a template ensures all your wiring diagrams will have a uniform look
|
|
* the template can be found at: /home/[USER]/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/wireviz/templates/din-6771.html
|
|
##Adding images to your components
|
|
* Add an image to your connector (or wire)
