@maksm Hi! To order a PCB for JLCPCB, use the included Gerber file for upload in order page. I don`t have a CPL file, sorry. If you tell me how to do it, I'll do it no problem.
@mdenisov Hey, yeah I forgot to mention that I wanted the PCB assembly also done, without it only the provided file is ok. But if I wanted to also do the PCB assembly I get to an interface where I have to provide the BOM and CPL files for the project, and am not really sure what those are.
Here is some more info when googling: https://jlcpcb.com/help/article/81-How-to-generate-the-BOM-and-Centroid-file-from-KiCAD
If I can provide any more input or help just let me know!
@maksm oh, maybe you mean the element positioning file. I was able to export something like this. This is similar to your examples in KiCAD.
If you need anything else, just tell me!
Hey tried with the specified file, I get this error now.
Error
The below parts won't be assembled due to data missing.

Hi 👋 Try with updated BOM file. I think the error is due to a mismatch in the BOM file and Gerber file.
Looking good now, will order 5pcs soon and report when I will assemble the unit. Might take a while :)
Thanks for all the assistance!
Great! I wish you good luck and look forward to your feedback!
You are welcome!
Hey great project, really want to try it out, but this is my first time doing custom PCBs. I wanted to order your design on JLCPCB but in the process the BOM and CPL files are required and here in the repo only the BOM is present - could you also provide the CPL file? I have no idea what it does.
Thanks in advance and cheers for the project.
