To import a YAML PCB board description into KiCad, this Skill loads the YAML data into Minerva and generates matching KiCad geometry, deriving pad locations, drill sizes, and body dimensions from KiCad footprint libraries.
Generating KiCad footprints from a YAML file is done by parsing the YAML model and validating it against KiCad libraries to ensure a 1:1 representation of footprints, nets, and placement within the Minerva editor.
Yes, you need Docker to run this workflow. Generating KiCad geometry from YAML requires the pcb-architect toolset, Docker, access to KiCad libraries, and a running Minerva instance to create and synchronize the board.
Yes, you can validate KiCad nets and placement against a YAML model. This Skill synchronizes KiCad artifacts from the YAML input to ensure the generated footprints and nets faithfully match the original data.
To render an ESP32 board defined in YAML, run the Skill with your YAML file path. It imports the board into Minerva, automatically rendering footprints and nets for review before manufacturing.
