Action Summary

The Interactive Pinout Generator GitHub Action automates the creation of interactive and visually detailed pinout diagrams for electronic device connectors. By processing a connector photo and corresponding YAML metadata, it generates a structured HTML page with searchable and clickable pin mappings, allowing users to easily navigate and understand connector layouts. This tool simplifies the documentation and visualization of pin configurations, helping developers and engineers streamline hardware documentation tasks.

Release notes

  • Added color-columns option - an array of columns containing CSS colors for coloring pins. If not provided, the color column will still be used if available. Each column provided will get a mode in the color selector.
  • The columns, print-columns, color-columns, and info-column parameters can now be set in a connector definition YAML’s info section to override the values passed to the generator.
  • Added highlight URL parameter, which takes queries to match pins, which are highlighted and added to the info table.
  • Improved printing, but made it worse for Firefox due to this bug.
  • Changed board_url info option to url. board_url will continue to work for now.
  • Fixed parsing of colors parameter so that passing it as a single-line environment variable as in the standalone example actually works.
  • Fixed navigating back to the first page state after clicking a pin.
