+
+This repository contains KiMesh, a KiCAD pcbnew plugin that generates security mesh traces on a KiCAD PCB.
+
+Installation
+------------
+To install, copy the "kimesh" directory into your KiCAD installation's scripting plugin folder. Usually, this is
+`~/.config/kicad/scripting/plugins/` for KiCAD stable installations or `~/.config/kicad/5.99/scripting/plugins/` for
+nightly builds. On Windows, these paths can be found in your user account's `AppData/Roaming` directory.
+
+Theory of operation

+
+I have published a post_ on my blog on the theory of operation behind KiMesh.
