> Did the LLM actually do the routing?

Good question. KiCAD once had a router, built in, or sort of built in, but it was taken out for licensing reasons. So who's doing that?



Why would anyone want a router? Routing is by far the most fun and relaxing part of PCB design! I'd pay for a game that just had me route PCBs.


freerouting plugin is available as a standalone program. It's pretty good. You export DSN from kicad and use freerouting. Not as simple as button click though.


Freerouting used to be more closely integrated with KiCAD.

So what did this project use?


Hand routing.


That's not vibing.
