A toolchain bringing the best of software development to the real-world!

Compiler for hardware - starting with PCBs

Usage

There's not a lot here, because it's over at http://docs.atopile.io/

Development

Prerequisites / Installation

You'll need >= python3.10 and pip (Use brew).

I'd strongly recommend developing within a venv

Since we'll be using this venv for both work within this tool directory and whatever projects you're using it on, I'd recommend creating something along the lines of an atopile-workspace or ato-ws directory somewhere, and then creating a venv in there. This means if you do something like a git clean -xdf to remove crud, you won't blow away your venv with it.

If you decide to follow this, you'll end up with something like this:

atopile-workspace
├── .venv --> your virtual environment
├── atopile --> this repo
├── atopile.code-workspace --> vscode workspace file
└── bike-light --> project using atopile

Clone this repo.

Wherever you stick the venv, you can create the venv with python3.11 -m venv .venv and then source .venv/bin/activate

For cli development (so practically all the time) : pip install -e ."[dev,test,docs]"

You'll need npm for front-end development (brew install node).

For any front-end development, you'll also need to install the front-end dependencies: npm install

Syntax highlighting is pretty nice...

You can download the extension from CI here:

Then, from your PC code --install-extension path/to/atopile-*.vsix
