 # Dependencies
-- [Kicad 6](https://www.kicad.org/)
+- [Kicad 8](https://www.kicad.org/)
 - [git-lfs](https://git-lfs.com/)
+- [kimelon](https://gitlab.com/Micromelon/education/hardware/kimelon)
 
 # Setup 
-1. Fork or clone and change origin remote-url.
-2. Checkout dev (branch off dev if desired)
-2. Rename/move files to match project name (make sure to update for [CI](#CI) too)
+1. From an empty directory: `kimelon config --init --remote <REMOTE_URL>`; if git is already setup and pointing to the remote then drop `--remote`
+2. Create a kicad project, based off of a template found in this directory
 3. Lock the file you want to edit, see [Locking](#Locking)
-4. Start editing.
+4. Start editing
 
+# Updating
+`kimelon config`
 
 # Locking
 All kicad files are read-only by default, the file will need to be locked to your ssh key/gitlab account for it to be writable.
-This can be done using `lock.sh {file name}`.
-Once you are done editing the lock can be released using `unlock.sh {file name}`.
-
-Lock/unlock can only be done if there are any branches that aren't merged into `dev` (excluding `main`).
+This can be done using `kimelon lock <type> <filter>`.
+See `kimelon lock --help` for more info.
+Once you are done editing the lock can be released using `kimelon unlock <type> <filter>`.
+See `kimelon unlock --help` for more info.
 
+Lock/unlock can't be done if there are any branches apart from `dev` & `main`.
 
 # CI
-Edit lines 41 & 42 of .gitlab-ci.yml to match the naming/structure of your project/s.
-You can add as many kicad projects as you like, as below:
-```
-  - DIR: 'proj1'
-    SCHEM: 'proj1.kicad_sch'
-  - DIR: 'proj2'
-    SCHEM: 'proj3.kicad_sch'
-  - DIR: 'proj3'
-    SCHEM: 'proj3.kicad_sch'
-```
 The following will be produced on any commit to dev & main branches or any commit on branch that has an active MR with said branches:
  - DRC & ERC
  - Step files 
 
-
 The following will be produced only on commits to main or commits on dev if it has an active MR with main:
  - JLCPCB compatible gerbers
  - PDFs of Schematic & PCB
  - BOM
 
- Currently there are some ERC errors to do with buses (https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/13285), so the docker image used for CI will be run on an older version to avoid them.
+# Panels
+[Kikit](https://github.com/yaqwsx/KiKit) is used to generate panels by placing a `json` file in your kicad project root folder.
+
+The templates in this repository all contain a default panel file with the following features:
+- single board
+- full frame, no tabs/gap between PCB and frame, vcuts
+- Mounting hole + fiducial in each corner
+
+See examples of panel types/options [here](https://yaqwsx.github.io/KiKit/v1.3/panelization/examples/)
+See syntax of `json` file [here](https://yaqwsx.github.io/KiKit/v1.3/panelization/cli/)
