-# eSim_PSpice_to_KiCad_Python_Parser
-The Schematic file and Library file parser to convert pspice files to KiCad files. FOSSEE eSim project, IIT BOMBAY
-
-This program can convert PSPICE schematic files (.sch) to Kicad schematic files (.sch)
-
-It requires that all the PSPICE libraries (.slb files only) be present in lib/Libraries/
+#eSim_PSpice_to_KiCad_Python_Parser
+This program converts PSpice schematic files (.sch) to KiCad schematic files (.sch)
+This program converts PSpice library files (.slb) to KiCad library files (.lib)
 
 USAGE:
+
 -----------------------------------------------
 #Make sure the python compiler is installed in the PC.
 
 Run the following command in the terminal in order to install it.
 $ sudo apt install python3.7
+
 -----------------------------------------------
-#TO DOWNLOAD THE ESIM_PSPICE_TO_KICAD_PYTHON_PARSER
+#To download the eSim_PSpice_to_KiCad_Python_Parser
 
 Clone or Download the eSim_PSpice_to_KiCad_Python_Parser from the Git in the Home folder(or any other folder) of the local computer.
------------------------------------------------
-#TO CHANGE THE DIRECTORY
 
-$ cd Pspice/eSim_PSpice_to_KiCad_Python_Parser/Lib/Pythonlib
 -----------------------------------------------
-#TO CONVERT THE PSPICE LIBRARY(.slb) FILES TO KiCAD LIBRARY(.lib) FILES
+#To convert the PSpice library(.slb) files to KiCad library(.lib) files
+
+Set the path where the libparser.py file is located.
+$ sudo python3 libParser.py <path to the pspice lib file(slb)> <output_library_name_without_extension> 
 
-$ sudo python3 libParser.py <path to the pspice lib file(slb)> <path where you want to save the .lib file>
 Example:
-$ sudo python3 libParser.py ~/Desktop/pspice_lib/rc.slb ~/Desktop/KiCAD_lib/
+$ sudo python3 libParser.py ~/Home/eSim_PSpice_to_KiCad_Python_Parser/libray/analog.slb analog
+
+This will create analog.lib file and save it in the path </Home/eSim_PSpice_to_KiCad_Python_Parser/libray/>
 
-By default the .lib files will be saved in the path:Pspice/eSim_PSpice_to_KiCad_Python_Parser/Lib/Pythonlib
 -----------------------------------------------
-#TO CONVERT THE PSPICE SCHEMATIC FILES TO KiCAD SCHEMATIC FILES
+#To convert the PSpice schematic files to KiCad schematic files
 
+Set the path where the parser.py file is located.
 $ sudo python3 parser.py <path/to/pspice-schematic.sch> <path/to/output-project-name-without-extension>
+
 Example:
 $ sudo python3 parser.py ~/Desktop/pspice/rc.sch ~/Desktop/convert/rc
 
-This will first create a directory rc at the location ~/Desktop/convert/
-and then the files rc.pro, rc.proj and rc.sch in /home/username/converted/rc/
------------------------------------------------
-#TO OPEN THE KiCAD PROJECT AND EESCHEMA
+This will create a folder rc at the location /Desktop/convert/. The directory will have  rc.sch, rc.proj and rc.pro.
+The directory will have read only access. You need to use chmod command to change the access.
 
-1. Go to the directory where your files are converted.
-2. Open the folder.
-4. Copy the files to some other folder if permission is not granted(optional).
-5. Click on .pro file to run the schematic.
-6. Click on EESchema button to run the schematic.
------------------------------------------------
-#TO LOAD THE LIBRARIES
-
-If all the libraries in EESchema are not loaded, follow these steps:
-1. Go to Preferences  in the EESchema menubar.
-2. Click on the Component Libraries in the drop down list.
-3. A dialog box appears, click on the Add option.
-4. Go to the path where your library to be added is saved.
-5. Select the library to be added and click on Open button.
-6. Close the dialog box.
-7. Restart the EESchema to get the updated schematic.
------------------------------------------------
-#TO CHANGE THE ACCESS OF THE FILES
+--------------------------------------------------------
+#To change the access of the file and folder
 
 Use this command to change access to the files:
 chmod <options> <permissions> <file name>
 Example:
 chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=r myfile
-Refer to the following website to know more about this command:
 
-< https://www.computerhope.com/unix/uchmod.htm >
 You can also use: sudo chmod 777 filename.
-Example: sudo chmod 777 ~/Desktop xyz
+Example: sudo chmod 777 ~/Desktop/convert/rc
+
+-----------------------------------------------
+#To open the KiCad schematic file in eSim 
+
+1. Open eSim.
+2. Create a new project.
+3. Open the schematic using open schematic option.
+4. Make sure all the libraries are loaded (9k+) using Place component option in eeschema.
+5. Append the schematic using Append Schematic option from the file menu
+6. Go to the directory where your files are converted.
+7. Select the KiCad coverted schematic file (.sch). Click on Open.
+8. To simulate, follow the instructions available on the eSim webpage
+    https://esim.fossee.in/pspice-to-kicad
+-----------------------------------------------
+#To load the libraries
+
+If all the libraries in eeschema are not loaded, follow these steps:
+1. In eeschema, select Preferences option.
+2. Click on the Component Libraries in the drop down list.
+3. A dialog box appears, click on the Add option.
+4. Go to the path where your library to be added is saved.
+5. Select the library to be added and click on Open button.
+6. Close the dialog box.
