Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools ★ 2060 173 APPLICATION

This is a KiCad plugin that integrates with JLCPCB assembly services. It provides a wxPython GUI within KiCad (pcbnew) for assigning LCSC part numbers to footprints, managing rotation/offset corrections, and generating fabrication files (Gerber, Excellon, BOM, CPL) ready for JLCPCB ordering. It also includes a parts database builder that fetches component data from LCSC APIs, a searchable parts catalog with FTS5, and an assembly cost estimator. The architecture is monolithic as a KiCad ActionPlugin, with a separate standalone mode for testing. Key external dependencies are KiCad, wxPython, and SQLite, with the `packaging` library vendored. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices: extensive unit tests (many mocking KiCad/wx), transactional correction storage with validation, event-driven UI separation, and reusable utility components. However, it has some coupling to KiCad API version specifics and hardcoded pricing data that may drift over time.
