Overview

This is the codebase for the website to MeowCAD. See it live at

MeowCAD

MeowCAD is a free and open source online electronics design tool that runs completely in your browser.

With it, you'll be able to design schematics like this:

and produce board like this:

Once a board is created, it can export the board as Gerber files that will look something like this:

which can be sent to board manufacturers to which will eventually give you boards that look like this:

Here's a short video of the board in action:

This codebase only represents the (very hacked together, hodge-podge frameworkless) python code that powers the website proper. For the web application that runs the schematic and board capture in your browser, see the sibling project:

bleepsix

There's a screencast available (17mins+) that walks through some of the basic functionality of MeowCAD.

Installation

Installation is involved and has a lot of dependencies. There's a Dockerfile present in config/docker.io/Dockerfile that will get you started. You can check out an image of MeowCAD in the Docker registry as well.

Unfortunately this repository (www.meowcad.com) is intertwined with bleepsix. For example, the node server requires the bleepsix repository to be installed at a pre-defined location.

Feedback

Happy hacking!
