To install this release, simply upgrade via pip.

This release brings some new features:

  • KiKit supports new command: kikit fab which exports all manufacturing data for a given PCB manufacturer. It supports both, generation of gerbers, BOMs and POS files for automated assembly! Currently, we support a single manufacturer: JLC PCB. See the documentation or simply try kikit fab jlcpcb

  • KiKit now supports rails in addition to a frame. Just specify --railsTb or --railsLr. See documentation or the examples.

  • KiKit can automatically generate tooling holes and fiducials in the corner of the panel - see options --fiducials and --tooling in the examples

  • an option --copperfill was implemented to fill unused areas of the panel with copper - see the examples.

It also brings some minor tweaks:

  • KiKit versioning has been transferred to versionner to better track particular versions in upstream installations

  • KiKit now checks for PCB thickness and warns you, when you mix different thickness of PCB. It also transfers the thickness to the resulting panel.

  • the gerber export was changed to use conservative settings to be compatible with more PCB manufacturers

We also fixed a bug:

  • when you created a panel with no spacing, it missed outer cuts. This is now fixed.
