|
||||
For automatic organization by CI bots, use these prefixes:

Continuous Integration configurations and automation scripts.
|
||||
Continuous Integration configuration and automation scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
This directory contains CI/CD configuration files and automation scripts for the project, including automated file organization, testing, and deployment workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
## CI Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### Auto-Sort Files (`auto-sort-files.yml`)
|
||||
Automatically organizes datasheets and images based on filename prefixes.
|
||||
|
||||
#### How It Works
|
||||
1. **Triggers**: Runs on push to main/develop branches and pull requests
|
||||
2. **Detection**: Scans the entire repository for files with specific prefixes
|
||||
3. **Organization**: Moves files to their correct directories
|
||||
4. **Commit**: Automatically commits the reorganized files
|
||||
|
||||
#### Supported Prefixes
|
||||
- **DS_**: Datasheets → moved to `docs/datasheets/`
|
||||
- **IMG_**: Images → moved to `docs/images/`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example Usage
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# User uploads files anywhere in the project:
|
||||
/some-folder/DS_STM32F401_datasheet_2024-08-11.pdf
|
||||
/random-location/IMG_pcb-layout_top-view_v1.0.0_2024-08-11.png
|
||||
|
||||
# CI automatically moves them to:
|
||||
docs/datasheets/DS_STM32F401_datasheet_2024-08-11.pdf
|
||||
docs/images/IMG_pcb-layout_top-view_v1.0.0_2024-08-11.png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Supported File Types
|
||||
**Datasheets (DS_):**
|
||||
- PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT
|
||||
|
||||
**Images (IMG_):**
|
||||
- PNG, JPG, JPEG, SVG, GIF, PDF, WEBP
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration
|
||||
The workflow can be customized by editing `auto-sort-files.yml`:
|
||||
- Add new file extensions
|
||||
- Modify destination directories
|
||||
- Add new prefix categories
|
||||
- Adjust trigger conditions
|
||||
|
||||
## Benefits of Auto-Sort System
|
||||
|
||||
### For Users
|
||||
- **No manual organization**: Upload files anywhere with correct prefix
|
||||
- **Consistent structure**: Files automatically end up in the right place
|
||||
- **Reduced errors**: No need to remember directory structures
|
||||
- **Time saving**: Focus on content, not file management
|
||||
|
||||
### For Teams
|
||||
- **Enforced standards**: Automatic compliance with naming conventions
|
||||
- **Reduced conflicts**: Files always in predictable locations
|
||||
- **Better collaboration**: Team members can find files easily
|
||||
- **Documentation quality**: Consistent organization improves documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### For Maintenance
|
||||
- **Automated cleanup**: Misplaced files are automatically corrected
|
||||
- **Audit trail**: Git history shows when files were moved
|
||||
- **Scalability**: Works regardless of project size
|
||||
- **Integration**: Works with existing workflows and tools
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### GitHub Actions
|
||||
1. The workflow file is already configured in `.github/workflows/` (copy from `ci/auto-sort-files.yml`)
|
||||
2. Ensure repository has appropriate permissions for the action to commit
|
||||
3. The workflow will run automatically on pushes and pull requests
|
||||
|
||||
### GitLab CI
|
||||
To adapt for GitLab CI, create `.gitlab-ci.yml`:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
auto-sort:
|
||||
stage: organize
|
||||
script:
|
||||
- # Copy the bash script from auto-sort-files.yml
|
||||
only:
|
||||
- main
|
||||
- develop
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Other CI Systems
|
||||
The bash script in `auto-sort-files.yml` can be adapted for:
|
||||
- Jenkins
|
||||
- Azure DevOps
|
||||
- CircleCI
|
||||
- Travis CI
|
||||
- Any system that can run bash scripts
|
||||
|
||||
## Customization
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding New Prefixes
|
||||
To add new file type prefixes, modify the workflow:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Example: Add CAD files with CAD_ prefix
|
||||
find . -name "CAD_*.step" -o -name "CAD_*.sldprt" | while read file; do
|
||||
if [[ "$file" != ./mechanical/cad/* ]]; then
|
||||
filename=$(basename "$file")
|
||||
move_file "$file" "mechanical/cad/$filename"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Subdirectory Organization
|
||||
For more sophisticated organization, add logic to sort into subdirectories:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Example: Sort datasheets by component type
|
||||
case "$filename" in
|
||||
DS_STM32*|DS_ESP32*) dest_dir="docs/datasheets/microcontrollers/" ;;
|
||||
DS_LM*|DS_AMS*) dest_dir="docs/datasheets/power-management/" ;;
|
||||
*) dest_dir="docs/datasheets/" ;;
|
||||
esac
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### File Naming
|
||||
- Always use the correct prefix (DS_, IMG_)
|
||||
- Follow the established naming convention
|
||||
- Include version numbers and dates
|
||||
- Use descriptive filenames
|
||||
|
||||
### Repository Management
|
||||
- Review auto-sort commits regularly
|
||||
- Manually organize files into subdirectories as needed
|
||||
- Keep the CI workflow updated with project needs
|
||||
- Monitor for any files that might be missed
|
||||
|
||||
### Team Guidelines
|
||||
- Train team members on prefix usage
|
||||
- Document any custom prefixes or rules
|
||||
- Include prefix requirements in contribution guidelines
|
||||
- Set up notifications for auto-sort commits
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
1. **Files not moving**: Check filename prefix and extension
|
||||
2. **Permission errors**: Ensure CI has write access to repository
|
||||
3. **Workflow not running**: Check trigger conditions and branch names
|
||||
4. **Duplicate files**: CI will not overwrite existing files
|
||||
|
||||
### Debugging
|
||||
- Check workflow logs in CI system
|
||||
- Verify file extensions are supported
|
||||
- Ensure files are not already in correct location
|
||||
- Test bash script locally before deploying
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements
|
||||
- Add support for more file types
|
||||
- Implement smart subdirectory sorting
|
||||
- Add file validation and quality checks
|
||||
- Integration with project management tools
|
||||
- Automated file naming compliance checking

## Purpose
|

This directory contains datasheets for all components used in the project, providing essential technical information for design, assembly, and troubleshooting.
|
||||
|
||||
## File Organization
|
||||
Datasheets should be organized by component type or manufacturer for easy reference:

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## CI Auto-Sort System
|
||||
To enable automatic organization by CI bots, use the **DS_** prefix for all datasheet files:
|
||||
|
||||
### Naming Convention
|
||||
```
|
||||
DS_[component-name]_[description]_[version]_[date].pdf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
```
|
||||
DS_STM32F401_datasheet_v1.0.0_2024-08-11.pdf
|
||||
DS_LM358_operational-amplifier_2024-08-11.pdf

||||

|
||||
DS_Yageo_resistor-series-RC_2024-08-11.pdf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
1. **Upload anywhere**: Place datasheet files with DS_ prefix anywhere in the project
|
||||
2. **CI detection**: CI bot automatically detects files starting with DS_
|
||||
3. **Auto-move**: Files are automatically moved to `docs/datasheets/` directory
|
||||
4. **Organization**: Files can be further organized into subdirectories manually or by additional CI rules
|
||||
|
||||
## File Types
|
||||
- **PDF**: Primary format for datasheets (preferred)
|
||||
- **HTML**: Web-based datasheets (save as PDF when possible)
|
||||
- **DOC/DOCX**: Microsoft Word documents (convert to PDF)
|
||||
- **TXT**: Plain text specifications (minimal use)
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
- **Always use DS_ prefix** for automatic CI sorting
|
||||
- **Include version numbers** when available from manufacturer
|
||||
- **Use descriptive names** that identify the component clearly
|
||||
- **Download official datasheets** directly from manufacturer websites
|
||||
- **Keep original filenames** when possible, but add DS_ prefix
|
||||
- **Include date** when datasheet was downloaded/updated
|
||||
- **Verify accuracy** - ensure datasheet matches actual component used
|
||||
|
||||
## Datasheet Sources
|
||||
- **Manufacturer websites**: Primary source for official datasheets
|
||||
- **Distributor sites**: Digi-Key, Mouser, LCSC often have datasheets
|
||||
- **Component databases**: Octopart, Findchips for cross-referencing
|
||||
- **Avoid unofficial sources**: Use only verified manufacturer data
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with BOM
|
||||
Datasheets should correspond to components in your BOM:
|
||||
- Reference the datasheet URL in BOM files
|
||||
- Ensure part numbers match between BOM and datasheets
|
||||
- Include datasheet links in component selection documentation
|
||||
- Use datasheets to verify component specifications during design
|
||||
|
||||
## Version Control
|
||||
- **Commit datasheets** with design files for complete project history
|
||||
- **Tag important versions** when component specifications change
|
||||
- **Document changes** when updating to newer datasheet versions
|
||||
- **Maintain traceability** between design decisions and datasheet specifications
|
||||
|
||||
## File Size Considerations
|
||||
- **Compress large files** when possible without losing quality
|
||||
- **Split large documents** into relevant sections if needed
|
||||
- **Use Git LFS** for very large files (>100MB) if necessary
|
||||
- **Consider external links** for extremely large manufacturer documents

## CI Auto-Sort System
|
||||
To enable automatic organization by CI bots, use the **IMG_** prefix for all image files:
|
||||
|
||||
### Naming Convention
|
||||
```
|
||||
IMG_[subject]_[description]_[version]_[date].extension
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||

||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
1. **Upload anywhere**: Place image files with IMG_ prefix anywhere in the project
|
||||
2. **CI detection**: CI bot automatically detects files starting with IMG_
|
||||
3. **Auto-move**: Files are automatically moved to `docs/images/` directory
|
||||
4. **Organization**: Files can be further organized into subdirectories manually or by additional CI rules
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported File Types
|
||||
- **PNG**: Preferred for diagrams, screenshots, and technical illustrations
|
||||
- **JPG/JPEG**: Best for photographs and complex images
|
||||
- **SVG**: Vector graphics for scalable diagrams and schematics
|
||||
- **PDF**: Vector documents and technical drawings
|
||||
- **GIF**: Animated demonstrations (use sparingly)
|
||||
- **WEBP**: Modern format for web optimization (when supported)
|
||||
|
||||

## Best Practices
|
||||
- **Always use IMG_ prefix** for automatic CI sorting
|
||||
- **Use descriptive names** that clearly identify the image content
|
||||
- **Include version numbers** for design-related images
|
||||
- **Optimize file sizes** without compromising quality
|
||||
- **Use appropriate formats** (PNG for diagrams, JPG for photos)
|
||||
- **Include date** when image was created or captured
|
||||
- **Maintain consistent naming** across related images
|
||||
- **Document image sources** and creation methods
|
||||
|
||||
## Image Quality Guidelines
|
||||
- **Resolution**: Use appropriate resolution for intended use
|
||||
- Screenshots: Native resolution or 1920x1080 max
|
||||
- Photos: 1920x1080 to 4K depending on detail needed
|
||||
- Diagrams: Vector format (SVG) when possible
|
||||
- **Compression**: Balance file size with quality
|
||||
- **Color space**: Use sRGB for web compatibility
|
||||
- **File size**: Keep under 5MB per image when possible
|
||||
|
||||
## Creation Tools
|
||||
- **Screenshots**: Built-in OS tools, Greenshot, LightShot
|
||||
- **Diagrams**: Draw.io, Lucidchart, Visio, Inkscape
|
||||
- **Photo editing**: GIMP, Photoshop, Paint.NET
|
||||
- **CAD renders**: KiCad 3D viewer, FreeCAD, SolidWorks
|
||||
- **Vector graphics**: Inkscape, Illustrator, SVG editors
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Documentation
|
||||
Images should be referenced in documentation:
|
||||
- Use relative paths in markdown: ``
|
||||
- Include alt text for accessibility
|
||||
- Reference images by filename in assembly guides
|
||||
- Maintain links when reorganizing files
|
||||
- Update documentation when images are updated
|
||||
|
||||
## Version Control
|
||||
- **Commit images** with related design changes
|
||||
- **Use Git LFS** for large image files (>10MB)
|
||||
- **Tag versions** when images represent specific design iterations
|
||||
- **Document changes** when updating existing images
|
||||
- **Maintain history** of design evolution through images
|
||||
|
||||
## File Size Management
|
||||
- **Optimize images** before committing to reduce repository size
|
||||
- **Use appropriate compression** for different image types
|
||||
- **Consider external hosting** for very large images
|
||||
- **Regular cleanup** of outdated or unused images
|
||||
- **Monitor repository size** and use Git LFS when necessary
