Getting set up

Running the notebook locally

Make sure you have python3 installed. Then run the following commands:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
jupyter notebook

Add the plugin to KiCad by symbolically linking it to the kicad_plugins directory.

ln -s ${PWD}/coil_plugin.py ~/Documents/KiCad/6.0/scripting/plugins/coil_plugin.py

The project is still very experimental - so there are no guarantees that these will work or do anything useful...
