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.
InteractiveHtmlBom is a mature, production‑stable application that generates self‑contained interactive HTML Bill of Materials (BOM) documents from PCB design files. It supports multiple Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools including KiCad, Eagle, EasyEDA, Fusion 360, and Allegro via a modular parser architecture (EcadParser strategy pattern). The application provides both a command‑line interface for headless generation and a wxPython‑based settings dialog that integrates as a KiCad plugin. The output HTML includes a full interactive viewer with BOM table, layer toggling, board rotation, dark mode, net highlighting, and export capabilities, all embedded within a single file for offline use. The codebase is well‑organized into separate packages for EDA parsing, core generation logic, and web frontend assets, with a JSON schema defining the intermediate PCB data format. While the project shows strong engineering practices, there are some signs of technical drift such as KiCad version workarounds, deprecated wxPython usage, and a large monolithic JavaScript frontend that lacks unit tests.
