# Install kikit
Install `kikit`:
```bash
pipx install --system-site-packages kikit
```
# KiKit Fixture Processor
Processing script for KiKit panelizes PCBs and draws a fixture sketch and positions the whole panel for easy CNC processing.
The script:
- Draws fixture reference geometry
- Centres the finished panel inside a predefined fixture frame
- Adds mechanical alignment pin holes
- Moves the finished panel to the origin `(0, 0)`
The resulting output is intended for repeatable CNC manufacturing workflows
where drilling, routing, and UV exposure all share the same physical fixture
and alignment holes.
Check the kikit panelization [examples](https://yaqwsx.github.io/KiKit/latest/panelization/examples/).
---
# Usage
```bash
# Panelize the PCB using the preset defined in `myPreset.json`.
kikit panelize \
-p myPreset.json \
../Flow_Controller.kicad_pcb \
panel/Flow_Controller_Panel.kicad_pcb
```
The new `panel/Flow_Controller_Panel.kicad_pcb` file will contain the panelized PCB with the following feature specified in `myPreset.json`. E.g.: Grid of 1 x 2 with space 2.1 mm, new mounting holes and fiducials.
```json
"layout": {
"type": "grid",
"rows": 1,
"cols": 2,
"hspace": "2.1mm",
"vspace": "2.1mm"
}
```
See all values in [default.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yaqwsx/KiKit/refs/heads/master/kikit/resources/panelizePresets/default.json)
## Exporting gcode files from KiCad
Adapt milling and drilling parameters in `millproject`. Look up [pcb2gcode/wiki](https://github.com/pcb2gcode/pcb2gcode/wiki) for help.
```bash
nano millproject
```
*Make sure to set `mirror-axis` in the `millproject` to half of your board width!!!*
Run the export by providing the `.kicad_pcb` file as a first argument:
```bash
# Input layers/filenames and all milling/drilling parameters are taken from the config file: 'millproject'.
docker run --rm -i -t \
-u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
-v "$(pwd):/data" \
ptodorov/pcb2gcode
```
The script will first generate gerber files in the `gerbers` directory and then generate gcode files in the `gcode` directory.
Launch the `gSender` program.
* Load the `gcode/drill.ngc` file for drilling holes.
* Load the `gcode/outline.ngc` file for milling the board outlines.
* Load the `gcode/back.ngc` file if you want to mill the isolation traces.
* Load the `gcode/front.ngc` file if you want to mill the isolation traces.
## Milling tip: Increase the thermal spoke and trace width
When routing for milling, use the widest traces possible. 1mm, 2mm and wider, the machine doesn't care, but later you won't be soldering leads to small fragile strips of copper. You can use copper pours for routing too.
Set up the entire back side as one big GND pour. Then, increase the thermal spoke width to be larger than 1mm. This avoids small features and gives more room for error if a larger drill is used for the holes.

# MSLA PCB Exposure: KiCad → Photon Mono 4
Convert KiCad PCB layers to `.pm4n` files for direct UV exposure on an **Anycubic Photon Mono 4** (9024×5120 px, 17 µm/px).
---
## Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `export.sh` | Main entry point — exports Gerbers from KiCad, converts to `.pm4n` |
| `gerber_to_pm4n.py` | Python converter (Gerber → RLE → pm4n binary surgery) |
| `Dummy.pm4n` | Template file for your specific printer. |
---
## Setup
### 1. Create the Dummy.pm4n
Open **CHITUBOX_Basic** slicer, select printer **Anycubic Photon Mono 4**, slice any tiny STL (a 1×1×0.05 mm box), and save as `Dummy.pm4n` in the same directory as `export.sh`.
This file is reused for every job — it carries the correct LCD resolution metadata.
### 2. Install dependencies
```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install pygerber Pillow numpy
```
Or activate the venv once and put `source .venv/bin/activate` in your shell profile.
---
## Usage
```
./export.sh [OPTIONS] <path/to/board.kicad_pcb>
```
### Options
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `--layers L,L,...` | `Front,F.Mask` | KiCad layer names to process |
| `--invert L,L,...` | *(none)* | Layers to invert the image for |
| `--mirror L,L,...` | *(none)* | Layers to mirror X for |
| `--exposure N` | `60` | Exposure time in seconds |
| `--dummy FILE` | `./Dummy.pm4n` | Path to dummy template |
| `--out DIR` | `./output` | Output directory |
| `--dpmm N` | `58.824` | Render resolution (native = 17 µm/px) |
| `--pos X,Y` | centred | Board position in mm from top-left |
---
## Examples
### Typical: top copper, positive-working resist (Bungard standard)
```bash
./export.sh \
--layers Front \
--invert Front \
--mirror Front \
--exposure 60 \
panel/Flow_Controller_Panel.kicad_pcb
```
`--invert`: Bungard presensitized is positive-working — UV removes resist, so the background must be exposed (white) and traces must block UV (dark). The Gerber is positive (copper=white), so inversion is needed.
`--mirror`: the board sits copper-side-down on the FEP, so the image must be flipped so the pattern reads correctly through the board.
### Multiple layers (e.g. copper + soldermask)
```bash
./export.sh \
--layers Front,F.Mask \
--invert Front,F.Mask \
--mirror Front,F.Mask \
--exposure 60 \
panel/Flow_Controller_Panel.kicad_pcb
```
### Quick test at lower resolution (faster render)
```bash
./export.sh --dpmm 30 --layers Front --invert Front --mirror Front panel/Flow_Controller_Panel.kicad_pcb
```
### Using gerber_to_pm4n.py directly
```bash
python3 gerber_to_pm4n.py Dummy.pm4n output/gerbers/Flow_Controller_Panel-Front.gbr \
--invert --mirror --exposure 60
```
---
## Output structure
```
output/
├── gerbers/
│ ├── Flow_Controller_Panel-Front.gbr
│ └── Flow_Controller_Panel-F_Mask.gbr
└── pm4n/
├── Flow_Controller_Panel-Front.pm4n ← copy to USB, print on Mono 4
├── Flow_Controller_Panel-Front.preview.png ← visual check before printing

└── Flow_Controller_Panel-F_Mask.preview.png
```
---
## Invert and mirror logic
| Setting | When to use |
|---|---|
| `--invert` | Positive-working resist (standard Bungard): UV removes resist → background must be white (exposed), traces black (masked) |
| no `--invert` | Negative-working resist: UV hardens resist → traces must be white |
| `--mirror` | Board placed **copper-side down** on FEP (normal for this workflow) |
| no `--mirror` | Board placed copper-side up |
When in doubt: check the `.preview.png` before printing. Traces should appear **dark** on a white background for standard Bungard positive-working boards.
---
## Exposure calibration
Start at **60 s** and bracket in ±15 s steps. Typical range for Bungard presensitized at 405 nm is 30120 s depending on board age and storage conditions.
A correctly exposed board after development will show:
- Clear copper traces (resist intact, blue/green tint)
- Bare copper in etched areas (resist removed, shiny copper)
---
## Troubleshooting
**`kicad-cli: command not found`** — add KiCad to PATH:
```bash
export PATH="/usr/lib/kicad/bin:$PATH"
```
Or on Flatpak:
```bash
alias kicad-cli='flatpak run --command=kicad-cli org.kicad.KiCad'
```
**Expected Gerber not found** — KiCad's layer→filename mapping:
| Layer | Filename stem |
|---|---|
| `F.Cu` | `Front` |
| `B.Cu` | `Back` |
| `F.Mask` | `F_Mask` |
| `B.Mask` | `B_Mask` |
| `F.SilkS` | `F_Silkscreen` |
**Image looks wrong in preview** — check invert/mirror flags. Open `.preview.png`: for positive-working resist, traces = dark, background = white.
**UVtools PCB Exposure freezes on per-item invert checkbox** — known v6 bug at 46 MP. Use the global invert checkbox at the bottom of the dialog instead, or use this script pipeline entirely.
---
First print checklist
Open the `.pm4n` in Chitubox to visually verify before printing.
Check the `.preview.png` — traces should appear black on white background (background = UV exposed = resist removed = etched away; traces = dark = resist kept = copper stays)
Start with `--exposure 60` and bracket from there — Bungard presensitized at 405nm typically lands between 30120s depending on board vintage and storage.

MACRO: CNC Slot Skeletonizer (Centerlines Only)
=============================================================================
DESCRIPTION:
This macro is specifically designed for CAM/CNC routing where the router bit
diameter matches the slot width. It reads a DXF-style slot sketch, calculates
the mathematical centerlines, and produces a sketch containing ONLY the
toolpaths (centerlines).
WHAT IT DOES:
1. Safely duplicates the selected sketch.
2. Mathematically calculates true Arcs from faceted DXF micro-segments.
3. Calculates intersections for Straight, L-shape, and T-shape junctions.
4. Merges collinear centerline segments.
5. ADVANCED CAM OPTIMIZATION: Groups connected lines into continuous chains so
the tool doesn't lift unnecessarily. Starts the job at the origin (0,0) and
takes the shortest rapid paths between cut groups.
6. WIPES THE SKETCH COMPLETELY CLEAN of all original geometry.
7. Draws ONLY the pure skeleton centerlines.
