Port unrecognized when specifying connections using pinout

[marsfan]

Summary

I am trying to set up connections using the pin names specified in pinouts like in #10. It appears to be working properly, however, when I build the diagram, I get the warning.

Warning: node x1, port pGNDr unrecognized

I am not sure what is happening, could you clear this up for me?

Minimal Working Example

YAML File

connectors:
  X2:
    pinnumbers: [1,2]
    pinout: [GND, VCC]
  X1:
    pinnumbers: [1, 2, 3, 4]
    pinout: [GND, VCC, D+, D-]

cables:
  W1:
    wirecount: 2
    color_code: IEC

connections:
  -
    - X1: [GND, VCC]
    - W1: [1-2]
    - X2: [1-2]

Command Line Input/Output

$> wireviz test.yml
Warning: node X1, port pGNDr unrecognized
Warning: node X1, port pVCCr unrecognized
Warning: node X1, port pGNDr unrecognized
Warning: node X1, port pVCCr unrecognized
$>

Output from running on provided YAML file

I think there's a misunderstanding. You need to use items from the pinnumbers list in your connections, not from pinouts. The reason is, pinnumbers are unambiguous, whereas your pinout might include, for example, several GND pins; which one should the connection go to? (see this example from the tutorial)

You can make your pinnumbers non-numerical if you want (see X2 in #10), but this is separate from specifying the pin function. Hope it helps!

Ahh. That makes sense. Thank you very much.

@marsfan you'll be happy to know that the example you provided above now works in the latest version of the dev branch after closing #71. You can now refer to pin names from pinout instead of pinnumbers, provided they are unambiguous. Unconnected pins are not checked for ambiguity, which allows to have, for example, multiple pins named N/C.
