How reliable is this projected to be? #1

Open Kreyren opened 2 years ago

Context: I am trying to apply experience with functional computer aided engineering (fCAD) such as OpenSCAD and LibFive in electronic hardware development so projected to engineer a written code that generates the electrical components through modular desing e.g. Saying that i want to use CPU A to get a list of components that are compatible with it to adjust them for the required computing.

How reliable is using the KiCAD API projected to be? Like can it be used to produce a complicated PCBs that won't have post-fabrication issues with e.g. grounding or is this just to produce all the connections for them to be arranged in gerber?

The current KiCAD API is quite low level and not very pythonic. I've started this project to experiment with an easier and more pythonic API. I'm not developing this anymore, but there's a new python API planned, which might reuse some parts. It didn't make it into KiCAD 6.0 though.
