- Thanks for watching!
I have ordered many boards at JLC and still find the ordering process from KiCAD very confusing and complicated. Formatting the BOM and POS files somehow is still confusing to me. This is to save you from having the same problems I had.
The new BOM export script: jlcpcb.com/help/article/81-Ho...
The NEW NEW way to export is a KICAD extension:
github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb...
The correct header for the POS file:
Designator,Val,Package,Mid X,Mid Y,Rotation,Layer
#jlcpcb #arduino #pcb #pcbuild #tmc2209 #trinamic #kicad #steppermotor #stepper_motor
The board: github.com/Neumi/tmc2209_devb...

Very helpful video, thanks!
Lovely walkthrough
oh man thank uu for this vedio ... solved my problem ..... thanks alotttt.
Thanks for the CHECK THIS COMPONENT reminder. I almost forgot the rotation of the atmega...
There's now a plugin in the Kicad repository that does all of this for you in one click!
What is plugin name?

Yeehaw!
I have been trying to do this for the past couple hours. the BOM i create either gives me errors or a randomized. excel sheet
Can you send me the BOM and the export script in a DM on Discord or via mail? I will check. discord.com/invite/rerCyqAcrw
Hello Neumi, thank you very much. Do you know if the script file works on Kicad 7?
Hey, yes it does. Except for the small error with the "do not place" components.
Maybe the bug is not in KiCAD but in the JLC export script. To be checked.
So I've tried this process and when I hit generate after adding the JLC script I get an error window pop up saying "Execution of command failed. The system cannot find the file specified.).
And when I close the pop up, i can see there's also "Command error. Return code -1." in the generator window. What have I missed?
Hmm. I've never had this issue. Have you followed the instructions on the JLC page? In my case, the script is in my downloads folder (I know not the best place for it). You have to specify the path in KiCad.
Did you ever resolve this issue? Im having the same problem, but I know for sure that my file path is correct.
@@war9201 I am also getting errors
How can I add text to the front or bottom silk screen layer in KiCad like you did for your?
On the right side of your PCB editor window you can find a large "T" symbol. Klick on it and enter the text ;)
Do I have to select first the F.silkscreen before clicking on the "Add a text item"..?
Or there is a particular layer l would select to achieve that.?
hey what do all these gnd vias do on your design?
Its a two layer board. Maybe the amount is a bit excessive but they are there to connect the islands to GND. This should keep emi down and ground path short. And they are for free so there is no reason to be frugal. Under the TMC they also spread and transfer the heat to the other side.
