From the project
Simple KiCad 6.0 plugin that allows to position modules using pre-calculated coordinates
This is a Kicad PCB editor plugin that helps to place modules at pre-computed coordinates.
I am using it to place LEDs on boards. Any project that comprises many similar components, like LEDs, logic gates, diodes, resistors, etc. arranged in a systematic order may benefit from this plugin.
1. Install the plugin as usual. See https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/python/pcbnew/
