I used the awk script using ubuntu linux it made the module footprint in silkscreen and the person shown how to change the layor but since it creates it from lines the copper was not merged or too close so it caused board making bot errors if I made the design on the copper layor but I have the PCB with a cool silkscreen quite intricate logo. I am quite proud of it and makes it more fun to show off.
