1 # Skidl code and prompt library 2 3 The goal should be to automate the design and prototyping of PCB's as much as possible, in order to save time and reduce procrastination, as 4 it can be one of the most nerve-wracking aspects of robotics - presumably due to the high potential for costly and dangerous mistakes, particularly 5 if one is already tired and overworked from other obligations and responsibilities in the homestead. 6 7 Skidl is unfortunately a very under-developed Python module, and the code is largely incompatible with some of the newer versions of KiCAD [6, 7 and 8]. 8 9 One workaround is to simply download the KiCAD symbol library separately: 10 11 ``` 12 git clone https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-symbols.git 13 ``` 14 15 ...and then link it up in your environments by adding the following lines to your ~/.bashrc: 16 17 ``` 18 export KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR="/home/twinlizzie/kicad-symbols/" 19 export KICAD6_SYMBOL_DIR="/home/twinlizzie/kicad-symbols/" 20 export KICAD7_SYMBOL_DIR="/home/twinlizzie/kicad-symbols/" 21 ``` 22 23 Latest ChatGPT Context Windows: 24 25 https://chat.openai.com/share/c78dd505-3c7f-465f-a177-92c5bd6a57d2
