SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

๐Ÿ’ก This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines PCB validation by performing KiCad ERC/DRC checks, exporting manufacturing outputs (Gerbers, drill data, BOM), and delivering a structured findings report to speed reviews and manufacturing readiness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Run ERC on schematics and DRC on PCBs to identify violations.
  • Export Gerber, drill data, and BOM files for fabrication and assembly.
  • Generate a consolidated findings report to guide design fixes and QA.

Quick Start

Provide the KiCad project path to run the audit and generate a findings report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run ERC and DRC checks on a KiCad PCB design?โ–ผ

Running ERC and DRC checks on a KiCad PCB design requires providing the project path. The audit tool then executes schematic ERC and PCB DRC, identifies design-rule violations, and compiles a structured findings report.

What's the best way to export Gerbers, drill files, and BOM from KiCad for manufacturing?โ–ผ

Exporting Gerbers, drill files, and BOM from KiCad is streamlined by an automated audit workflow. It generates manufacturing outputs alongside validation checks, ensuring fabrication readiness and delivering a consolidated findings report.

Can I audit a KiCad project for manufacturing readiness before sending it to fabrication?โ–ผ

You can audit a KiCad project for manufacturing readiness before fabrication. The audit runs ERC/DRC checks to catch design-rule violations and exports Gerbers, drill data, and BOM files to verify manufacturing output completeness.

What does a KiCad PCB audit report include?โ–ผ

A KiCad PCB audit report includes consolidated findings from ERC and DRC checks. It lists design-rule violations and manufacturing output status, guiding design fixes and QA across PCB designs to speed up project reviews.

Do I need to install specific dependencies to automate KiCad design audits?โ–ผ

No specific dependencies are required to automate KiCad design audits. The tool operates independently to run ERC/DRC checks, export Gerbers with drill files and BOM, and compile a structured findings report from the project path.
