KLE Placement Router (KLEPR)

This is a KiCAD plugin written in Python for programatically placing clusters of components onto a PCB from a layout file.

As always, feel free to contribute by posting issues and pull requests.

What is it not?

What it is not is a keyboard generator. That requires programmatic generation of components with minimal human editing. Other projects are better proofs of concepts, such as MrKeebs Keyboard Builder and Jeroen Bouwens klepcbgen.
