Steps to run

1. Install Astral's uv
2. Run uv sync
3. Run main script

uv run main.py --radius 1100 --tol 50 --prune --visualize --row 2

Arguments

• --radius is the keepout radius (mm)
• --tol is the tolerance for the horizontal distance between the modules and keepout arc (mm). It will give you all results in this tolerance (if any), along with the a specified number of the best results under tolerance. Best = more module PCBs.
• --prune is a boolean flag for removing duplicate results. Duplicate here means two rows with the same end modules and the inner ones are just permutated (e.g. M3 M3 M6 M7 = M3 M6 M3 M7).
• --visualize is a boolean flag for launching a pygame window for seeing the results visually. Scroll through the results using left and right arrow keys. Results will be printed to console regardless.
• --row is the index of the row you wish to optimize (between 0 and 25). If the entire top/bottom side of the PB/RB lies outside the keepout radius, it will throw a value error (happens frequently for top and bottom rows).
• --under is how many of the best under-tolerance results to show.

The visualizer might be a little buggy, especially the keepout circle that get's overlaid. The numbers should be trustworthy though.

All the relevant dimensions are stored in the dimensions.yaml file. This file contains all the dimensions of the boards, along DEE layout measurements. Everything pulls from this file.
