It's robust, open-source, and comes with a lot of features built-in. However, as a daily user, you might overlook its power in extensibility and automatibility through custom plugins. In this session, "How to Build Awesome KiCad Plugins," we will delve into plugin development for KiCad, enabling you to tailor the tool to your specific needs. We will begin with an overview of the KiCad Scripting Interface, explaining how Python code interacts with KiCad to allow for extensive customization. We will cover the initial setup process, including the necessary development environment and tools. You will learn how to navigate the KiCad scripting console and understand the basic structure of a plugin. This is followed by a brief overview of the API and what’s possible and what’s not. The core of the session will focus on practical, hands-on examples. We will go over the process of creating a simple yet functional plugin from scratch, demonstrating key concepts such as accessing and manipulating PCB data, automating routine tasks, and creating custom user interfaces. Additionally, we will take a brief look into popular and common plugins. You will also learn how to package and share your plugins with the broader KiCad community (and automate this process). We will also see a way to mitigate the still missing scripting interface for EESCHEMA. By the end of the session, you will have a basic foundation in KiCad plugin development and be equipped to start exploring and creating your own plugins, enhancing your productivity and unleashing new possibilities in your PCB design projects. Whether you're a seasoned KiCad user or new to the platform, this workshop will provide valuable insights and skills to elevate and automate your EDA experience.

There's an impedance mismatch between EDA tools and visual art tools, and an even bigger mismatch between the way PCB layout engineers and artists approach things. Both of those can be mitigated with suitable matching networks. I'm here to share what we learned along the way so as to save others from frustration.

Similar to how software developers reuse libraries or modules, Edgies allow hardware designers to create, test, and reuse generic parts of circuits. This minimizes redundant work and accelerates development timelines. Like software functions, Edgies are independent, modular, and can be plugged into different projects. By isolating individual circuit components, each Edgie can be tested separately, analogous to unit testing in software development. This approach improves the reliability of the overall circuit by ensuring each part works as intended. Edgies use generic, standardized interfaces, which function as seams. A seam in software is a place where you can alter behavior without changing the surrounding code. Similarly, in hardware, Edgies are designed with standardized connectors, allowing them to fit seamlessly into different designs and systems.

When designing a product, it is important to respect both of them and comply with a chosen standard. This talk focuses on isolation for safety, presents the differences between clearance and creepage, and introduces the IEC 60664-1 standard, which deals with low voltage ( < 1000 V ) systems. The need for a creepage DRC check will also be discussed, as well as its current development.

By combining some Kicad functionality, Scripts and Freecad workflows we can generate the required documents and keep them up to date easily. You will get a broad overview about how CE works in general and a dive into the required documents and how to create them with Kicad. A few examples of how Kicad files are used for preliminary CE assessment before the prototypes are even made, and some tipps to consider when designing products that need to be CE certified.

One of the current research goals is small nanosatellite formation flight which is carried out in the scope of the NanoFF mission. Here, two 2U CubeSats will demonstrate autonomous approach and formation keeping. For the attitude control system the twin spacecraft are relying on a combination of reaction wheels and magnetic actuators. The magnetic actuators are electromagnetic coils embedded into the PCBs that make up the outside walls - the so-called sidepanels - of the spacecraft. Due to the high degree of miniaturization and the complexity of the mission the four larger sidepanels have complex shapes. To come up with a coil design that is optimized in terms of magnetic dipole generation and power consumption we have developed KiTorquer - a KiCAD Action Plugin that automatically detects the shape of the PCBs including mounting holes, vias, component footprints, and keep-out areas, calculates an optimal coil design, and layouts the tracks on a multi-layer PCB. While the plugin is not fully mature yet, it has been used for the spacecraft of the NanoFF mission of TU Berlin and the HYPE PocketQube mission of AGH University of Science and Technology from Krakow, Poland.

Curious minds ask what technologies, materials, processes, and personalities contributed to the final result. While KiCad was the electronics design automation suite exclusively used for circuits, a number of other production work carried our achievements over the top and we hope to explain the evolution of the KiCon electronic badge up to the present day.
