Codex

Codex gets a practical home in the Adom ecosystem: a dependable setup entry point, a dock dashboard, and recorded engineering demonstrations.

Install the Adom integration with adom-wiki pkg install adom/codex, then open the Codex dock card or run adom-codex serve --print-url.

This package configures Codex for Adom. It does not install or replace the OpenAI Codex executable or your credentials.

Astra drives live KiCad

The videos below are real KiCad window recordings. Astra runs in the Adom Hydrogen container and sends explicit trace-routing commands through Adom Bridge to KiCad on AdomLapper. Idle footage is trimmed; routing plays at 3x with explanatory captions.

Six nets: the first trace-routing demo

Download the 23-second video. Six nets, 13 pads, 20 trace segments and two vias. KiCad measured zero DRC errors and zero unconnected items; three warnings identify synthetic footprint libraries.

24-net crossover: calculated paths and branches

Download the 31-second video. A permutation maps each input to an output column. Horizontal front-layer traces cross vertical back-layer traces, and each net branches to a third pad. Result: 72 pads, 120 segments, 48 vias, zero DRC errors, zero unconnected items, and three synthetic-library warnings.

This establishes explicit per-net/per-trace control. The crossover fixture uses a constructed routing algorithm; it is not evidence of arbitrary-board autorouting.

Public Adom board: first routing pass

Download the preview. Uses the public Adom Teazzers Solenoid Driver RP2040 v1.1, with 94 footprints and five channels. Astra calculates paths independently, then commits them live through Adom Bridge. Precomputed geometry and 3x playback are labeled. This first pass adds 60 connections as 106 segments, reducing native open items from 118 to 60. Five baseline errors remain. Full routing is still in progress.

Real Adom boards: next comparison

A copy of Adom's Pinch toolboard has been inspected: 162 footprints, 1,697 trace segments, 405 vias and 51 zones. Baseline KiCad DRC reports 29 errors and 483 warnings, with no missing-connection errors. Those findings are recorded before any changes. Independent rerouting has not yet been demonstrated on this board.

The original stays intact. Each completed comparison will show the reference, a stripped copy, the routing process, and measured before/after results. Reference reconstruction will be labeled separately from independently calculated routes. A combined reel will be assembled after the individual runs are approved.
