cuflow

CuFlow ("Copper Flow") is an experimental procedural PCB layout program.

It's a Python module that, given a description of a board, generates all the outputs for a PCB:

• Gerbers
• drill file
• BOM
• PnP definitions
• POVRay renderings
• SVGs for laser cut mockups

The Gameduino 3X Dazzler was designed with CuFlow.

To generate the Dazzler board:

python dazzler.py

To generate the Arduino-Dazzler interface board:

python arduino_dazzler.py

Some notes on the theory and the practice:

• Motivation
• The geometry of river routing
• The Dazzler PCB
• laser cut mockups
