How can I automate the placement of components in circular patterns in KiCad using Python?
To automate the placement of components in circular patterns in KiCad using Python, you can use a script that calculates the position of each component based on radial and angular coordinates. The script provided arranges LEDs in a radial pattern, varying the radius and angle for each LED:

```python
import math
import pcbnew

# Define inner and outer diameters, radial pitch, and number of segments
R1 = 1.0*25.4 # Inner diameter
R2 = 2.00*25.4 # Outer diameter
RADIAL_PITCH = 10 # Center-to-center distances radially
SEGMENTS = 52 # Number of angular segments

# Load the board and set scale for dimensions
board = pcbnew.LoadBoard('copy.kicad_pcb')
SCALE = 1000000

# Set the footprint library and name
LIBPATH = 'ColorWheel.pretty'
FOOTPRINT = 'CREE_RGBLED_1x1mm'

# Calculate positions and place components
# ... (rest of the script)

board.Save('autogen.kicad_pcb')
```

This script demonstrates how to automate the placement of components in a specific geometric pattern, which can be adapted for various types of components and patterns.
