lol i made a python script to 'relax' traces from kicad while observing the DRC rules (unlike the round-traces plugin, natch) and i kinda love it. i wonder if the pcb fabs would manufacture this madness

tell me about dope, preferably floss, art/code/ed software you don't think gets enough attention. some examples i'm already using, and that you should check out if you haven't, to define the space

KiCad footprint from a datasheet drawing. Step by step. That is Lesson 2.
One important thing before we start. The datasheet shows the bottom view. KiCad works in the top view. You have to mirror the drawing in your head. Always.

A schematic is more than a picture.
KiCad can flag two outputs wired together—but its checks depend on correctly defined pin types.
The checker reads the meaning behind the lines.

Full disclosure, it uses Altium CircuitDesigner and CircuitStudio, not KiCAD.
So converting that would probably be the first step.

I wanted to instruct Claude on design rules and geometry. Claude would use Konnect to control KiCad, but Claude surprised me by creating a footprint instead.
It was a surprising moment. I imagined how Claude would route in KiCad but instead, it produced a footprint of a given geometry.

This shit is literally an esp32 with a few hundred $0.01 orange LEDs.. You could design this in Kicad in an hour, get the board manufactured for *maybe* $5 (if you exclude the tacky and stupid stick design and just give it a long cord) and get your PCB fab to pick and place it for an extra $15.
The Arduboy creator’s next project uses a neural network trained on footage of a real candle’s flame. www.theverge.com/tech/1022113...
This $149 digital candle uses AI to accurately simulate a flickering flame
You can leave this candle flickering for months.
