Version 3.0.2

• Interpreter 7.4
• Configs can now be saved more easily
• Resistor/capacitor/inductor values can now be used as direct inputs for component combine simulations

Version 3.0.1

Minor changes

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
• 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

V2.0.1

• 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

Version 1.3

Support advanced matching of footprints

Version 1.2

Supports multifunction IC's
Creates an additional report that shows at which locations the components /materials can be found

Script version 1.1

Changes

• Bug fixes
• Show calculated values
• Support of ranges: also the new way of requesting better values. (Tolerances, PowerRatings, etc)

Script version 1.0

• allow coarse or fine matching, depending on how many component requirement are added in KiCad
• display of E-series, see at a glance how general or special values are
• display of max voltage and max current of resistors when powerrating is know.
• display of max current of zenerdiodes when powerrating is know
• import matched stock components in a PartKeepr project
• share values between components in PartKeepr categories
• update descriptions with uniformly generated ones, that show also inherited parameters
• update part names with uniform formatting
• create parts that aren't in the PartKeepr database yet.
