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.

which JLCPCB KiCad plugin to use?
but most/all links I find on sites like adafruit point to https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools
-
Quick Part Search
Assuming you are talking about https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools, I believe that was just a misunderstanding and has been resolved.

Bouni JLCPCB plugin rocks
If you use JLCPCB, then you need this tool. It generates all required files. Let’s you select parts and easily correct component rotation. https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools

Today I ordered my very first self-designed PCB!
Yeah, I like Kicad but EasyEDA has time saving integration with their libraries and PCBA service.Does someone know if this library is any good? https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools
- wasn't there an addon or something that allowed to browse through lcsc/jlcpcb library in kicad, and then easily use pick an place function, and then export it all to the format required by jlc?
-
ESP32 in NodeMCU form factor done!
Plus, KiCad has tons of awesome features (including third party tools to make exporting to JLCPCB super easy! Link here.) while being free and open source, all that good stuff.

JLCPCB Settings / First Order
Only semi related, but I can highly recommend the kicad-jlcpcb-tools plugin, it only takes 2 buttons to not only create gerbers but also placement and bom files if you ever want your board assembled
- wasn't there a python script to get the jlcpcb libraries and put em on kicad?

Vendor libraries for kicad
I tried out a couple of JLC Kicad plugins, and thought that this one was by far the best: https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools

Show HN: Atopile – Design circuit boards with code
Great question! We hope we have a few good reasons.
This iteration of the project actually came after first working with and then modifying another awesome project called SKiDL (https://github.com/devbisme/skidl).
It's based on Python - but we found that because since it's procedural, turing complete and has a rich eco-system - people use to that and there aren't standard composable ways of designing things. Instead of describing your board, you (practically) write a script that generates your board. It entangles your targets with your source-code and can make it difficult to understand the ultimate outcome of what you've written.
Additionally, since it's a potentially very long program, it was hard to write good language support around (a language server for VSCode, a schematic visualiser etc...) that were snappy, responsive and lent to examining modules as well as the whole program.
There's a few operators and first-class language features we wanted as well, like units and tolerances (3.3V +/- 100mV) that just aren't the same when embedded in a string, or class init method.

Text only PCB CAD tools?
there is skidl for schematics, but yeah shit was hand drawn before GUIs.

What needs to happen for ChatGPT to start generating visual answers like electrical schematics?
Further, there are many python libraries etc which can be used to design electrical circuits using code: https://github.com/devbisme/skidl

The tooling ecosystem that adds joy to KiCad
I'd like to see documentation on your workflow. You can also post it on https://github.com/devbisme/skidl/discussions.
There is a generate_pcb() function in SKiDL that will output a kicad_pcb file that can be directly opened using PCBNEW (no need to generate the intermediate netlist file). That function uses HierPlace to group the parts based on their hierarchical organization. That would be a good place to inject some autoplacement if you get it figured out.

Wiring Tool
If others are interested in this and wireviz they might also like to know about https://github.com/devbisme/skidl. Used to make schematic specification in python.
-
Python & EE
Kinda off topic, but there's this project called skidl https://github.com/devbisme/skidl allowing you to create electrical schematics using Python. It seems to council your two interests, maybe for a fun side showoff project.
