I still don't think anything beats Matt Adereth's dactyl[0]. Tweak some hand size / reach parameters and let the clojure generate the curvature and the scads. P

  The Dactyl is definitely neat. It's designed for a different use case tho; you wouldn't take a Dactyl with you when you're out and about, while the Atreus is specifically designed for travel. I'm working on a similar programmatic definition of the Atreus here: https://icosahedron.website/@technomancy/101809590723531930 https://icosahedron.website/@technomancy/101809590723531930 It's still a work-in-progress, but being able to tweak the input parameters and recompile to get the board regenerated is really handy! The circuit board already uses programmatic alignment for placing the switches and diodes: https://github.com/technomancy/atreus/blob/master/atreus.rkt https://github.com/technomancy/atreus/blob/master/atreus.rkt

Amazing work! In the same vein, I have found an interesting python library that's capable of generating KiCAD circuits: https://xesscorp.github.io/skidl/docs/_site/ https://xesscorp.github.io/skidl/docs/_site/
