NAME

ppexample_circuit2 - build this project’s own second synthetic test circuit

SYNOPSIS

ppexample_circuit2
ppexample_circuit2
{--help|--version}

DESCRIPTION

ppexample_circuit2 builds a second synthetic test netlist, deliberately shaped opposite to ppexample_circuit1’s own (flat, with no passive-to-passive attachment chains, and comfortable PWR_FLAG label headroom), to add real topology diversity beyond the first circuit alone. Runs it through the same generic placement algorithm and writes packpay-example-circuit2.kicad_sch, alongside a matching .kicad_pro project file, in the current directory.

Takes no arguments, for the same reason as ppexample_circuit1(1): the circuit and its output path are both deliberately fixed, since this project’s own make check depends on that fixed path.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

Show a usage summary and exit.

--version

Show this project’s own current version (read from VERSION) and exit.

No other options exist, for the same reason as ppexample_circuit1(1).

EXIT STATUS

0

The circuit was built and written successfully.

2

Invalid command-line usage.

FILES

packpay-example-circuit2.kicad_sch
packpay-example-circuit2.kicad_pro

Written to the current directory, overwriting any existing copy.
