Development Setup

Prerequisites

• KiCad 10+
• KiKit (panelization)
• mise (environment management)

Environment

The schematic references KiKit's symbol and footprint libraries via the ${KIKIT_LIB} environment variable. This is set per-machine using a mise.local.toml file (gitignored).

After cloning, create mise.local.toml in the project root:

[env]
KIKIT_LIB = "/path/to/kikit/resources"

Find your KiKit resources path with:

python3 -c "import kikit, os; print(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(kikit.__file__), 'resources'))"

Then trust the config:

mise trust mise.local.toml

Checks

Run ERC and DRC:

make test
