Import BOM information from KiCad and match it with existing parts in PartsBox with a CSV file that is generated by this python script.

Install

git clone [email protected]:hutscape/kicad-partsbox-import.git

Getting Started

1. Ensure your KiCad project has *.xml file

2. Run the python script

   $ python main.py PATH_TO_KICAD_XML.xml OUTPUT_FILENAME.csv

3. Ensure OUTPUT_FILENAME.csv has the header as the following:

   "Id";"Designator";"Package";"Quantity";"Designation";"Supplier and ref";

4. Ensure the column Designation (from KiCad) is the same as column Part in PartsBox. E.g. MPN is matched here:

   "Id";"Designator";"Package";"Quantity";"Designation";"Supplier and Ref"
   "7";"D4, D5, ";"Passives_0805:LED_0805_2012Metric_Pad1.15x1.40mm_HandSolder";"2";"17-215UYC/S530-A3/TR8";"LED: Light emitting diode"
