You can generate engineering documentation from KiCad project files by running the kidoc scaffold script, which auto-runs analyses, renders schematics and PCBs, and outputs structured markdown reports.
For hardware design, you can automate generating Hardware Design Descriptions, CE Technical Files, Interface Control Documents, and Manufacturing Transfer Packages from KiCad projects.
Yes, you need Python 3.9 or higher to run the scripts that parse KiCad files, perform automated schematic and PCB analysis, and produce custom design review packages.
The best way to automate EMC and thermal analysis for KiCad schematics is using a documentation Skill that integrates internal parsing libraries to identify compliance issues and render structured markdown reports.
Yes, you can customize hardware design descriptions by specifying desired sections and formatting, allowing the script to generate tailored markdown reports for your engineering documentation needs.
Automated schematic and PCB rendering for manufacturing transfer depends on provided KiCad files and optional analysis JSONs, requiring specific Python dependencies like python-docx and reportlab to function properly.
