๐ง KiCad PCB Automation
Design โ Prototype โ Manufacture Automate PCB design workflows using KiCad. From natural language circuit descriptions to manufacturing-ready Gerber files.
What This Skill Does
Design โ Create schematics from circuit descriptions Layout โ Design PCB layouts with component placement Verify โ Run DRC checks, generate previews for review Export โ Generate manufacturing files (Gerbers, drill files, BOM) Order โ Prepare and place orders on PCBWay
KiCad Installation
# Ubuntu/Debian sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kicad/kicad-8.0-releases sudo apt update sudo apt install kicad # Verify CLI kicad-cli --version
Python Dependencies
pip install pillow cairosvg
Quick Start
# 1. Create a new project python3 scripts/kicad_pcb.py new "LED Blinker" --description "555 timer LED blinker circuit" # 2. Add components to schematic python3 scripts/kicad_pcb.py add-component NE555 U1 python3 scripts/kicad_pcb.py add-component LED D1 python3 scripts/kicad_pcb.py add-component "R 1K" R1 R2 # 3. Generate schematic preview (for review) python3 scripts/kicad_pcb.py preview-schematic # 4. Run design rule check python3 scripts/kicad_pcb.py drc # 5. Export manufacturing files python3 scripts/kicad_pcb.py export-gerbers # 6. Prepare PCBWay order python3 scripts/kicad_pcb.py pcbway-quote --quantity 5

PCBWay Integration
CommandDescriptionpcbway-quoteGet instant quotepcbway-uploadUpload Gerbers to PCBWaypcbway-cartAdd to cart (requires auth)
Step 1: Describe Your Circuit
Tell me what you want to build: "I need a simple 555 timer circuit that blinks an LED at about 1Hz. Should run on 9V battery, through-hole components for easy soldering."
Step 2: I'll Generate the Design
# Create project kicad_pcb.py new "LED_Blinker_555" # Add components based on description kicad_pcb.py from-description "555 timer LED blinker, 1Hz, 9V battery"
Step 3: Review & Confirm
I'll show you: Schematic preview image Component list (BOM) Calculated values (resistors for timing, etc.) You confirm or request changes.
Step 4: PCB Layout
# Import to PCB kicad_pcb.py import-netlist # Auto-layout (or manual guidance) kicad_pcb.py auto-place --strategy compact kicad_pcb.py set-board-size 50x30 # Preview kicad_pcb.py preview-pcb --layers F.Cu,B.Cu,F.Silkscreen
Step 5: Manufacturing
# Run final checks kicad_pcb.py drc --strict # Export everything kicad_pcb.py package-for-fab --output LED_Blinker_fab.zip # Get quote kicad_pcb.py pcbway-quote --quantity 10 --layers 2 --thickness 1.6
templates/555_astable.kicad_sch
Classic 555 timer in astable mode. Parameters: R1, R2: Timing resistors C1: Timing capacitor Freq โ 1.44 / ((R1 + 2*R2) * C1)
templates/arduino_shield.kicad_pcb
Arduino Uno shield template with: Header footprints Mounting holes Power rails
templates/usb_c_power.kicad_sch
USB-C power delivery (5V): USB-C connector CC resistors ESD protection
Configuration
Create ~/.kicad-pcb/config.json: { "default_fab": "pcbway", "pcbway": { "email": "your@email.com", "default_options": { "layers": 2, "thickness": 1.6, "color": "green", "surface_finish": "hasl" } }, "kicad_path": "/usr/bin/kicad-cli", "projects_dir": "~/kicad-projects", "auto_backup": true }
Design Review Protocol
Before ordering, I'll always: Show schematic โ Visual confirmation of circuit Show PCB renders โ Top, bottom, 3D view List BOM โ All components with values Report DRC โ Any warnings or errors Show quote โ Cost breakdown before ordering I will NOT auto-order without explicit confirmation.
PCBWay Order Flow (Current)
Export Gerbers + drill files Create ZIP package Manual step: You upload to pcbway.com Future: Automated upload + cart placement
Cost Reference
PCBWay typical pricing (2-layer, 100x100mm, qty 5): Standard (5-7 days): ~$5 Express (3-4 days): ~$15 Shipping: ~$15-30 DHL
Safety Notes
โ ๏ธ High Voltage Warning: This skill does not validate electrical safety. For mains-connected circuits, consult a qualified engineer. โ ๏ธ No Auto-Order (Yet): Cart placement requires your explicit confirmation.
