kicad-fablisted

Produce fabrication outputs for a KiCad project: grouped engineering BOM, JLCPCB-format BOM and CPL placement file, gerbers and excellon drill. Use when asked to export a BOM, prepare files for JLCPCB/PCBWay, generate gerbers, or package a board for manufacturing.

# Fabrication outputs Engine: `$(kx root)/kicad_lib/fab.py`. One call: python3 -m kicad_lib.cli fab SCH PCB OUTDIR # either may be "-" Produces: `bom.csv` (grouped by Value+Footprint, Qty column), `bom_jlc.csv` (Comment/Designator/Footprint/LCSC Part #, DNP excluded), `gerbers/` (+ excellon .drl), `cpl.csv` (mm, both sides). ## Notes - JLC assembly needs an **LCSC field on each symbol** — full snippet (PYTHONPATH=<repo>): `doc = sexp.load_file(SCH); ops.set_prop(doc, "R1", "LCSC", "C25804"); sexp.save_file(SCH, doc)` — save_file takes PATH FIRST. (`kx fetch` tells you the id.) - Group key is Value+Footprint: identical parts collapse to one row with ranges (R1,R2 / Qty 2). DNP parts are excluded from the JLC BOM only. - Power symbols/flags never reach the BOM (KiCad excludes # refs). - Gerber sanity: count layers (≥ F.Cu/B.Cu/Edge.Cuts + masks/silk) and open one in the render if the board matters. - Variants (KiCad 10): pass `--variant` via fab.py extension if a project uses them — not wired into kx yet.
