Examples

Quick Version Probe (Async)

use kicad_ipc_rs::KiCadClient;

#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]
async fn main() -> Result<(), kicad_ipc_rs::KiCadError> {
    let client = KiCadClient::connect().await?;
    let version = client.get_version().await?;
    println!("{:?}", version);
    Ok(())
}

Open Board Detection (Blocking)

use kicad_ipc_rs::KiCadClientBlocking;

fn main() -> Result<(), kicad_ipc_rs::KiCadError> {
    let client = KiCadClientBlocking::connect()?;
    let has_board = client.has_open_board()?;
    println!("open board: {}", has_board);
    Ok(())
}
