Generate Interactive Html BOM for your electronics projects

Project description

Interactive HTML BOM plugin for KiCad

Supports EasyEDA, Eagle, Fusion360 and Allegro PCB designer

icon

This plugin generates a convenient Bill of Materials (BOM) listing with the ability to visually correlate and easily search for components and their placements on the PCB. It is particularly useful when hand-soldering a prototype, as it allows users to quickly find locations of components groups on the board. It is also possible to reverse lookup the component group by clicking on a footprint on the board drawing.

The plugin utilizes Pcbnew python API to read PCB data and render silkscreen, fab layer, footprint pads, text, and drawings. BOM table fields and grouping is fully configurable, additional columns, such as a manufacturer ID, can be added in Schematic editor and imported either through the netlist file, XML file generated by Eeschema's internal BOM tool, or from board file itself.

There is an option to include tracks/zones data as well as netlist information allowing dynamic highlight of nets on the board.

For full description of functionality see wiki.

Generated html page is fully self contained, doesn't need internet connection to work and can be packaged with documentation of your project or hosted anywhere on the web.

A demo is worth a thousand words.
