# Component Datasheets
|
|
|
|
This directory contains datasheets for the components used in this project.
|
|
|
|
## Generation Process
|
|
|
|
The datasheets were automatically downloaded and processed by the script at `tools/download_datasheets.py`. The script performs the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. It reads the `production/bom.csv` file to get all unique LCSC Part Numbers.
|
|
2. For each LCSC Part #, it scrapes the corresponding product page on `lcsc.com` to find the official **Manufacturer Part Number (Mfr. Part #)**.
|
|
3. It constructs a direct download link (`wmsc.lcsc.com/...`) and downloads the datasheet.
|
|
4. The file is saved using the manufacturer part number as the filename: `<Mfr. Part #>.pdf`.
|
|
|
|
## Deduplication
|
|
|
|
After the download process, the script identifies all files with identical content (using a SHA256 hash). Duplicate files are deleted and replaced with symbolic links pointing to the first downloaded version of that file.
|
|
|
|
This ensures that every component has a corresponding datasheet file, while minimizing storage space by not keeping redundant copies of the same document (e.g., for a series of resistors).
