kicad-testpoints

CLI to generate a JigsApp compatible test point report for generating bed-of-nails jigs. Specify any pad as a test pad.

KiCAD Plugin

This is the command line tool based on reference designator and pad number. For the action plugin see snhobbs/kicad-testpoints-pcm.

The plugin is generates the same report as the CLI except it can be used entirely within the KiCAD user interface (no terminals required) and uses the fabrication property of the pads instead of their pad number and ref des.

Use

Any pad can be set as a test point. Add the target pads to the spreadsheet input with the "source ref des" and the "pad number".

The CLI will pull out the related pad data and creates the report as a csv.

Test Point Report CSV

The generated report is consistent with the kicad-parts-placer CLI tool.
