Switch and Diode ID labels don't seem to generate. Is this what eeschema.createId() is supposed to do? They are shown this way in the readme image aswell.
Hello @haywirephoenix ,
The labels are created in Eeschema by hand, I don't want to mess up existing symbol labels with this script, commonly you use the 'annotate schematic symbols' for this.
see step 45 in: https://docs.kicad-pcb.org/5.1.5/en/getting_started_in_kicad/getting_started_in_kicad.html#draw-electronic-schematics
It auto names and numbers symbols for you, so you don't accidentally have two of the same annotations. The createId() function is just an id under the hood and Eeschema uses it to keep track of the components. This is separate from the name you give it!
Good luck!
