A bunch of scripts to automate KiCad processes
KiCad automation scripts ========================
A bunch of scripts to automate [KiCad] processes using a combination of the PCBNew Python library and UI automation with [xdotool].
This work is based in big parts on Scott Bezek's scripts in his [split-flap display project][split-flap]. For more info see his [excellent blog posts][scot's blog].
