we want to test the liteplacer with a self made PCB. For the PCB we work with eagle. For the data file we keep getting header parse error. We saved our data as a csv.
Designator,"Footprint","Mid X","Mid Y","Rotation","Comment"
Fid1,"testFid","10mm","10mm","0.00","1"
Fid2,"testFid","70mm","10mm","0.00","1"

R2 ,"1206","39mm","57.5mm","90.00","1"
R3,"1206", "42.5mm", "57.5mm","270.00","1"
this is what our excel look like. We used the same lay out as the example on the liteplacer site.
Annyone that can help with this problem ?
Header parse error
Re: Header parse error
This is the hello world example. Looks like you are missing some quotation marks.

Re: Header parse error
we changed some semicollums. I dont think you need to use alle collums in the header. Via liteplacer we red that only component, footprint, component center x , component center Y , layer , rotation , comment(optional) need to be used.

Header parse error is gone now. Buth we keep getting can't find comonent X in the header line.

Re: Header parse error
You have fewer headers than data columns .

change to
"Designator","Footprint","Mid X","Mid Y","Ref X","Ref Y","Pad X","Pad Y","Layer","Rotation","Comment"
"Mid X","Mid Y" and ,"Pad X","Pad Y" columns to 0
put placement positions in
"Ref Y","Pad X"
