Making a complete project partlist in seconds #1006

Closed HendriXML closed 4 years ago

Hi,

I really like PartKeepr's project administration, but it can be somewhat time consuming to create.

So I added extra functionality to my KiCad - PartKeepr BOM-matcher proof of concept.

It is explained over here: https://github.com/HendriXML/KiCad-BOM-reporter/wiki/Export-to-PartKeepr-project

As can be seen the designators are placed in the remark section.

Hi, I made a small script which can generate e-serie for resistors, capacitors and zener diodes as a KiCad like BOM file. This file can then be matched with a PartKeepr database. It thus reveals which values are missing in one's collection! Or how many commonly used values are in stock.

For a normal BOM the e-serie of values are shown, this shows how general or special values are.

Also for each resistor with a known powerrating the maximum voltage/current is displayed . This makes it easy to check wether it is used within it's power rating. For zener diodes, the max current is calculated.

Properly setup this information is shown within a second form within KiCad, so very usable while designing.
