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.

Alignment of square footprints to center of squares from a dxf file
As an alternative, you can use a kicad project generator like the one I made : https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen

PCB: place a large number of parts in a certain grid
If you want to create a mechanical keyboard PCB, there are several dedicated tools for that, including one I made: https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen

I have fully designed and build a working pcb and I just wanted to share cuz I thought it was cool
then use https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen this guide to put it into kicad. the guide is kinda flawed because to make the pcb it used parts that are no longer available but i figured out how to hook up all the switches to a pro micro so its a lot easier and you can actually get the parts.

I used a software to make a keyboard pcb but in order to print some places need a BOM file but I need to go to schematic to do that but when I want to switch I cant.
ok so you make a keyboard layout with this: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ and download the json file and then you follow the steps here https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen and copy paste the codes into command prompt and you get a pcb with you specific layout and all you need to do is connect the traces. but the problem is that there are components that are used and i but not listed so i can make a BOM file so the board can be printed. every time i try to open the schematic view it says there was an error and i don't know what i should do to fix it or even if i can.

spare me your knowledge
Here area some resources: https://makeakeyboard.com/ https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen https://github.com/BathroomEpiphanies/KiCAD-Keyboard-Tutorial https://wiki.ai03.com/books/pcb-design/page/list-of-kicad-keyboard-parts-libraries

1st try at a wooden case, will do better next time
I kinda cheated, theres a tool that takes KLE files and automatically generates a pcb design for them. You still have to connect everything, but it does all the tedious layout for you. Heres the github https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen

Keyboard Builders' Digest / Issue 15
A custom PCB by u/bigbrobewatching (pics). What's more interesting though, is the workflow: KLE, KLE PCB generator I wasn't aware of & the firmware builder by Ruiqi Mao.

Custom pcb fun????
Here’s the github https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen Basically you import a json from kle and then it spits out a mostly finished kicad file, so it pretty much takes all the tedious work out of it. You still have to route all the traces but it’s pretty great

First PCB Design Help
I followed this guide to get me started and I've gotten to the point where I'd like some feedback to make sure I'm not missing anything important. I'm about to order parts so I can start working on the any custom footprints I'll need and translating the schematic into a PCB for manufacturing.
- tips on desinging keyboards?

60% with Raspberry Pi Pico
I referred to this guide to get the libraries and also for connecting the switches and diodes. Really helpful even at the end where you generate the files for production.

[Schematic / PCB Review Request] ATmega32u4 Keyboard
Now I have largely just directly been copying from a guide here and from how I have laid it out so far I have no auto routing errors and no design rule check errors but know this doesn't mean it will work. Would really appreciate a look at the whole board to confirm functionality but especially want to confirm if I have done the follow correctly:
- [Original keyboard #000] This is the first keyboard I designed with KiCad, so I started with a simple one. In the layer, I set both space and backspace. This time, along with the circuit board, I requested the production of the bottom plate as well.
-
[Original keyboard #001] I suddenly thought about it and designed a PCB for the first time. There was no problem with the PCB design, but there was a problem with the firmware build, and I consulted the self-made keyboard community to solve it. Total production time is less than 3 weeks.
I designed the circuit while looking at your "Keyboard PCB Guide" on GitHub. (Because I happened to be designing a similar PCB)
-
Scratchbuild! I designed my own pcb with usb-c, hotswap sockets v2, rgb, rotary encoder and mcu integrated on pcb
i do! i used this guide but it is over 5 years old. It is recommended to use the updated guide here . both of the guides tell you how to work with kicad (pcb design software) and most importantly how the basic circuit should be build.
