kibot-config

Kibot config is meant for building kicad pcb datapacks using github actions. While I have chosen a flexible license to for this project to allow the community to do what they want. I encourage anyone using this to make your project opensource.

Use case

I have indented for this repository to make building kicad pcb artifacts as easy as possible.

Step 1: Add Github Action

Add .github folder to the root directory of the github repository.

Step 2: Add options.yaml

Add options.yaml to the root directory of the github repository.

Step 3: Commit changes

Commit changes.

Example

Mad_RP2040 is an example of how kibot-config can be used.

Example project folder structure

Your project folder structure will look something like the following.

SomeProject/
  .github/
  SomeProject.kicad_pro
  SomeProject.kicad_sch
  SomeProject.kicad_pcb
  options.yaml
  panelization.yaml (Optional)

  .github/
    workflows/

  workflows/
    build-datapack.yaml
    build-panel.yaml

Future work

• Add support for variants
• Add 2d render generation
• Add GIF generation
• Add github action which calls a default action with the default options.yaml in this repository.
