SKiDL is very, very cool. It’s a bit of Python code that outputs a circuit netlist for KiCAD. Why is this cool? If you design a PCB in KiCAD, you go through three steps: draw the schematic ...

The whole process — from schematic capture, through routing and generating the PCB, and even extending to making the case — was done programmatically, in Python. The result is that the whole ...

Python works well on both of these platforms because of its flexibility, facilitated by its extensive list of built-in functions. By using the open() function and a simple loop, you can cycle ...
