Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

KiCad 6.0.0
Here's my KiBot config:
https://gitlab.com/stavros/esp32-cnc/-/blob/master/project.k...
It will automatically check your design and generate Gerbers and drill files for you. It will also generate a JLCPCB-compatible BOM that you can upload. All you need to do is add a field on each part called "JLC" in eeschema containing the LCSC part number.

2,400 LED Icosahedron
For anyone who stumbles across this later, here's a KiBot project file that will automatically export the JLCPCB-compatible BOM/CPL file:
https://gitlab.com/stavros/esp32-cnc/-/blob/master/project.k...
It does this from a field on each part in the schematic called "JLC" containing the part number. The only thing I'm unsure of is whether the "footprint" column needs to be edited manually later, though.

Can someone review my schematic and PCB?
For point 1, are you sure you're using the latest KiCad version? I know there was a bug in de software before, which caused this exact problem. But that's already from a long time ago: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/6447

KiCad Project Makefile
The first thing of thought of with kicad-cli is a Makefile include. It's developed into kicad-makefile. It does everything I want, except DRC/ERC but hopefully that will come. Perhaps others on here will find it useful and can contribute. See the README for info on how to use it and integrate with GitHub actions.

Python errors with 7
Not sure if the devs watch these forums, but if you want this issue solved I recommend raising the issue on Gitlab https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues (where the devs will definately see your bug report)

Just a simple plugin to create rounded rectangles
If you're really using the nightly build, you might not need that plugin. https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4742 seems to have a patch for that already. However it's targeted at kicad 8.0
What are some alternatives?
Arduino-LED - Control addressable LED with Arduino
LimeSDR-USB - USB 3.0 version of the LimeSDR board
Digital-Piano-LED - Light up an LED strip with your digital piano and a Raspberry Pi
altium2kicad - Altium to KiCad converter for PCB and schematics
KiBot - KiCad automation utility
Apache Maven - Apache Maven core
WLED - Control WS2812B and many more types of digital RGB LEDs with an ESP8266 or ESP32 over WiFi!
kicad-makefile - A Makefile for KiCad 7.0+ projects. It leverages the new `kicad-cli` command included in 7.0 to generate output data for distribution and production.
