It will do square or helical inductor footprints.

https://github.com/erichVK5/SpiralInductorFootprintGenerator

you just need to decide how to connect to it, by adding suitable pins, vias
or tracks.

It will export in gEDA format by default, but can generate a kicad module
if asked nicely.

Usage:

java SpiralInductorFootprintGenerator -option value

    -k  export a kicad module, default is geda .fp file

    -s  export a square inductor, default is circular

    -i long  inner diameter of coil in nanometres

    -o long  outer diameter of coil in nanometres

    -w long  track width in nanometres

    -n long  number of turns

    -l long  length of segment used to approximate circular arc in
nanometres

    -h   prints this

Example usage:

java SpiralInductorFootprintGenerator -n 40 -i 15000 -o 50000 -w 250 -l 3000

generates a 40 turn circular inductor footprint,
of 15mm inside diameter, 50 mm outside diameter,
with 0.25mm track width and 3mm segment length.

Someone may find it useful.

Cheers,

Erich.
