KiPlot

Python application Coverage Status

KiPlot is a program which helps you to plot your KiCad PCBs to output formats easily, repeatable, and most of all, scriptably. This means you can use a Makefile to export your KiCad PCBs just as needed.

For example, it's common that you might want for each board rev:

  • Check ERC/DRC one last time (using KiCad Automation Scripts)
  • Gerbers, drills and drill maps for a fab in their favourite format
  • Fab docs for the assembler
  • Pick and place files
  • PCB 3D model in STEP format

You want to do this in a one-touch way, and make sure everything you need to do so it securely saved in version control, not on the back of an old datasheet.

KiPlot lets you do this.

As a side effect of providing a scriptable plot driver for KiCad, KiPlot also allows functional testing of KiCad plot functions, which would otherwise be somewhat unwieldy to write.

The configuration file

Kiplot uses a configuration file where you can specify what outputs to generate. By default you'll generate all of them, but you can specify which ones from the command line.

The configuration file should be named .kiplot.yaml. The format used is YAML. This is basically a text file with some structure. This file can be compressed using gzip file format.

The header

All configuration files must start with:

kiplot:
  version: 1

This tells to Kiplot that this file is using version 1 of the format.

The preflight section

This section is used to specify tasks that will executed before generating any output. The available tasks are:

  • run_erc To run the ERC (Electrical Rules Check). To ensure the schematic is electrically correct.
  • run_drc To run the DRC (Distance Rules Check). To ensure we have a valid PCB.
  • update_xml To update the XML version of the BoM (Bill of Materials). To ensure our generated BoM is up to date.
  • check_zone_fills Zones are filled before doing any operation involving PCB layers.

The run_drc command has the following option:

  • ignore_unconnected Ignores the unconnected nets. Useful if you didn't finish the routing.

Here is an example of a preflight section:

preflight:
  run_erc: true
  update_xml: true
  run_drc: true
  check_zone_fills: true
  ignore_unconnected: false

Filtering DRC/ERC errors

Sometimes KiCad reports DRC or ERC errors that you can't get rid off. This could be just because you are part of a team including lazzy people that doesn't want to take the extra effort to solve some errors that aren't in fact errors, just small violations made on purpose. In this case you could exclude some known errors.

For this you must declare filters entry in the preflight section. Then you can add as many filter entries as you want. Each filter entry has an optional description and defines to which error type is applied (number) and a regular expression that the error must match to be ignored (regex). Like this:

  filters:
    - filter: 'Optional filter description'
      number: Numeric_error_type
      regex:  'Expression to match'

Here is an example, suppose you are getting the following errors:

** Found 1 DRC errors **
ErrType(4): Track too close to pad
    @(177.185 mm, 78.315 mm): Track 1.000 mm [Net-(C3-Pad1)] on F.Cu, length: 1.591 mm
    @(177.185 mm, 80.715 mm): Pad 2 of C3 on F.Cu and others

** Found 1 unconnected pads **
ErrType(2): Unconnected items
    @(177.185 mm, 73.965 mm): Pad 2 of C4 on F.Cu and others
    @(177.185 mm, 80.715 mm): Pad 2 of C3 on F.Cu and others

And you want to ignore them. You can add the following filters:

  filters:
    - filter: 'Ignore C3 pad 2 too close to anything'
      number: 4
      regex:  'Pad 2 of C3'
    - filter: 'Ignore unconnected pad 2 of C4'
      number: 2
      regex:  'Pad 2 of C4'

If you need to match text from two different lines in the error message try using (?s)TEXT(.*)TEXT_IN_OTHER_LINE.

If you have two or more different options for a text to match try using (OPTION1|OPTION2).

A complete Python regular expressions explanation is out the scope of this manual. For a complete reference consult the Python manual.

Important note: this will create a file named kiplot_errors.filter in the output directory.

The outputs section

In this section you put all the things that you want to generate. This section contains one or more outputs. Each output contain the following data:

  • name a name so you can easily identify it.
  • comment a short description of this output.
  • type selects which type of output will be generated. Examples are gerbers, drill files and pick & place files
  • dir is the directory where this output will be stored.
  • options contains one or more options to configure this output.
  • layers a list of layers used for this output. Not all outputs needs this subsection.

Important note about the layers: In the original kiplot (from John Beard) the name of the inner layers was Inner.N where N is the number of the layer, i.e. Inner.1 is the first inner layer. This format is supported for compatibility. Note that this generated a lot of confusion because the default KiCad name for the first inner layer is In1.Cu. People filled issues and submitted pull-requests to fix it, thinking that inner layers weren't supported. Currently KiCad allows renaming these layers, so this version of kiplot supports the name used in KiCad. Just use the same name you see in the user interface.

The available values for type are:

  • Plot formats:
    • gerber the gerbers for fabrication.
    • ps postscript plot
    • hpgl format for laser printers
    • svg scalable vector graphics
    • pdf portable document format
    • dxf mechanical CAD format
  • Drill formats:
    • excellon data for the drilling machine
    • gerb_drill drilling positions in a gerber file
  • Pick & place
    • position of the components for the pick & place machine
  • Documentation
    • pdf_sch_print schematic in PDF format
    • pdf_pcb_printPDF file containing one or more layer and the page frame
  • Bill of Materials
  • 3D model:
    • step Standard for the Exchange of Product Data for the PCB

Here is an example of a configuration file to generate the gerbers for the top and bottom layers:

Using KiPlot

If you need a template for the configuration file try:

kiplot --example

This will generate a file named example.kiplot.yaml containing all the available options and comments about them. You can use it to create your own configuration file.

If you want to use the layers of a particular PCB in the example use:

kiplot -b PCB_FILE --example

And if you want to use the same options selected in the plot dialog use:

kiplot -b PCB_FILE -p --example

If the current directory contains only one PCB file and only one configuration file (named *.kiplot.yaml) you can just call kiplot. No arguments needed. The tool will figure out which files to use.

If more than one file is found in the current directory kiplot will use the first found and issue a warning. If you need to use other file just tell it explicitly:

kiplot -b PCB_FILE.kicad_pcb -c CONFIG.kiplot.yaml

A simple target can be added to your makefile, so you can just run make pcb_files or integrate into your current build process.

pcb_files:
    kiplot -b $(PCB) -c $(KIPLOT_CFG)

If you need to supress messages use --quiet or -q and if you need to get more informatio about what's going on use --verbose or -v.

If you want to generate only some of the outputs use:

kiplot OUTPUT_1 OUTPUT_2

If you want to generate all outputs with some exceptions use:

kiplot --invert-sel OUTPUT_1 OUTPUT_2

If you want to skip the DRC and ERC use:

kiplot --skip-pre run_erc,run_drc

If you want to skip all the preflight tasks use:

kiplot --skip-pre all

All outputs are generated using the current directory as base. If you want to use another directory as base use:

kiplot --out-dir OTHER_PLACE

If you want to list the available outputs defined in the configuration file use:

kiplot --list

Installing

Dependencies

Installation on Ubuntu/Debian:

Get the Debian package from the releases section and run:

sudo apt install ./kiplot.inti-cmnb_*_all.deb

Installation on other targets

  • Install KiCad 5.x
  • Install Python 3.5 or newer
  • Install the Python Yaml module
  • Run the script src/kiplot

Using for CI/CD

When using a GitHub or GitLab repo you can use KiPlot to generate all the needed stuff each time you commit a change to the schematic and/or PCB file.

Examples of how to do it can be found here for GitHub and here for GitLab.

In order to run KiPlot on these environments you need a lot of software installed. The usual mechanism to achieve this is using docker. Docker images containing KiPlot, all the supporting scripts and a corresponding KiCad can be found at Docker Hub as setsoft/kicad_auto:latest. This image is based on setsoft/kicad_debian:latest, containing KiCad on Debian GNU/Linux.

For more information about the docker images visit kicad_debian and kicad_auto.
