Allow JSON Code from keyboard-layout-editor

[h3oCharles]

When someone wants to make their own layout and don't want to spend time making the pcb itself, how about using JSON from keyboard-layout-editor to make a pcb automatically?

Try Kalerator, it's really the only option out there (at least that I can find)

I tried Kalerator, but when generating the schematic file, it seems to export to a file format (.schematic.scr) that cannot be opened with KiCad.

It's meant to be used with Eagle software, sorry for the confusion

I can't find anything for KiCAD

KiCad 5.0 allows you to import Eagle projects, maybe try that?

Generating a PCB automatically from KLE seems like a rather large request. There are too many variables in play for PCB design that are not addressed by the KLE interface. I'm just learning myself but have figure out that using the Raw Data from KLE and and pasting it into Keyboard Firmware Builder will give you an idea how everything should be wired together.
