KiCad-BOM-reporter

Reports a bill of material list from KiCad 5/6 - specifications are matched with a PartKeepr database

See wiki, screenshots or features for more details.

Changelog version 3.0

  • Tested with KiCad 6.0
  • Version 7.0 of the XML interpreter
  • File restructuring, renaming and clean up
  • Improved/changed config settings
  • Configuration echo: shows which config values are actualy being used
  • Improved capacitor technology items: aluminum electrolytic, tantalum electrolytic, niobium electrolytic
  • Set matching, requested (schematic) components can specify multiple values on enumeration based fields like: "aluminum electrolytic, tantalum electrolytic"
  • New tasks which determines the best combination of (available) components (resistors, capacitors of inductors) for a replacement value
  • Reporting of (sub)sheet info, the level of detail is configurable: SheetInfo=None|Root|All
  • Ini files can be saved and loaded from the config tabsheet. Also using the AltConfig command line option with a nonexistent file, does not result in an error message. So its ok to have a default /AltConfig "%O-bom.ini" option in KiCad. For project specific settings when required.
  • Easy change of report language using /LanguageCode commandline option and corresponding specifier usable when importing files. Defaults to active language of the interpreter.
  • Fixed some issues with task dependencies

Changelog version 2.0

  • Version 6.5 of the XML interpreter
  • File restructuring and clean up
  • New datatype for values (32 decimals floating point BCD combined with unit)
  • Main program is now task based. Which tasks (Bom, BomEEVBlog, BomDokuWiki, BomDesignators, BomOrderPicking, Stock, StorageLocations, PartKeeprProjects) will be executed can be set on commandline. For example:
    • /var Unattended Bom,BomDesignators,BomOrderPicking
  • Some report fields (ESerieOfValue, ResistorMaxAmpVolt, ZenerDiodeMaxAmp, Footprint) can be hidden using the commandline. For example:
    • /var HideSpecs ESerieOfValue,ResistorMaxAmpVolt,ZenerDiodeMaxAmp,Footprint
  • A report tab can be activated from the commandline. For example:
    • /ActivateReportTarget StorageLocationReport
  • Add 1 additional componentkind
  • Add device mappings
  • Ranges are displayed differently
  • Report tabs are simplified
