System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Atopile provides a code-first approach to PCB design, enabling hardware teams to encode constraints, component selection rules, and manufacturing outputs directly in code, reducing manual layout and error-prone processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Code-first design: write .ato sources to describe circuits, constraints, and footprints, then compile into KiCad projects and manufacturing files.
  • Automated component selection: auto-picks components from the KiCad/JLCPCB libraries to satisfy constraints and BOM generation.
  • Integrated workflow: coordinates project manifest, KiCad layout, Gerber export, BOM, and manufacturing data generation.
  • Modular design blocks: supports inheritance and reuse of circuit modules across projects.

Quick Start

Install atopile, create a new project, and begin encoding your PCB in .ato files to generate KiCad layouts and manufacturing outputs.
