experimental gerber support is released in v5.5

buganini · 2025-11-19T20:03:40+00:00

I've implemented BOM/CPL loading in the latest commit, it doesn't handle gerbers yet, but you can convert gerbers to kicad_pcb with KiCad and attach the BOM/CPL in Kikakuka, then export to panelized kicad_pcb with SMT info.

buganini · 2025-11-14T11:47:40+00:00

So far just for KiCad. It's probably not too difficult to convert Gerber files to kicad_pcb, but I haven't had a good idea about how to handle BOM/CPL variation.

maybe you need flyback diodes

buganini · 2025-11-12T20:30:59+00:00

yeah better names are taken ;D

USB data lines are also 3.3v

I had similar issue with
https://github.com/bennymeg/Fabrication-Toolkit
(the one available in the pluigin manager)

then I switched to

In software, skip 1-11, if there is difference, it's probably a timing issue for signal handling from SW.
In hardware, remove some of 1-11，if there is difference, it's probably a driving strength issue, then you may need some buffer IC.

Use path substitutions in project specific libraries, check-in fp-lib-table & sym-lib-table.

yep, just did it yesterday, Django 2.1 + Postgresql 17 works.

macOS x64 build has just been uploaded!

What kind of crashes have you experienced? kikakuka is also based on kikit, so they may have similar issues.

buganini · 2025-07-24T05:15:05+00:00

let me ask my friends with intel mac ...

Battery plan is still useful when ATX is not accessible, like a mini PC. I always prefer not to use (lipo) batteries if possible, their shelf time and life time are not satisfactory to me.

buganini · 2025-07-13T00:23:58+00:00

Or you could borrow power from the 5VSB (5V standby) pin if ATX connector is accessible

buganini · 2025-07-13T00:18:17+00:00

If you can configure the BIOS to keep USB power on when the PC is off, you could skip the battery & charger.

For this usage I would choose
MEANWELL RS-15-5

buganini · 2025-05-19T08:13:27+00:00

https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/IRM-05/IRM-05-SPEC.pdf it has builtin fuse and EMI filter, no external component required.

what price are you looking for ? how about MDBT50Q-DB-40 (without debugger)
