Re: KiCad keyboard PCB generator

alternatively, you could look into how to do hierarchical schematics in KiCad, draw up the microcontroller part of the circuit in eeschema normally (visually), label the pins of the microcontroller intended for row/column connections from the key matrix in a predefined way. then your script generat...

Re: KiCad keyboard PCB generator

Don't forget SKiDL: https://xess.com/skidl/docs/_site/index.html problem with SKiDL is that you don't get graphical representation of your schematic. I think it could be used only if you are going to use it for all components (key matrix + IC + others) which increases complexity significantly. My c...

Re: KiCad keyboard PCB generator

I did something similar but with slightly different approach, you can take a look: https://github.com/adamws/kicad-kbplacer To be honest I didn't play with your project yet but I like some of the ideas. For example I do not handle schematics at all. On the other hand I think that for layout generati...
