The Hardware design workflow has many issues like:

• Collaboration
• Version control
• Reusability
• Scalability
• Testing

pypcb is trying to resolve those problems. Pypcb is a python framework inspired by Amaranth that can be used to design printed circuit boards (PCB) with a "software" approach. The main idea behind pypcb is to introduce some good practices of the software workflow into the hardware design world like unit testing, version control, CI/CD, etc.

• python to kicad netlist
• Cache components references from existing netlist (able to modify an existing layout)
• Add attributes to elements: power, impedance, values, part, etc
• Generate BOM
• Generate kicad project
• ngspice backend to simulate (unit tests)
• Footprint as code
• Placer
• Router
