projects/interactivehtmlbom/

Python app for generating interactive Bill of Materials (BOM) for electronics PCBs.

Designed as a helper for manual assembly this tool allows you to search components,
quickly find their placement on the PCB, mark your progress as you solder components.
It can also highlight nets for troubleshooting and tracing where the signals go.

Initially written as a KiCad plugin it currently also supports Eagle, Fusion360,
Allegro PCB Designer and EasyEDA.

is there a way to go to make a kicad read format?

[qu1ck]

What do you mean by kicad read format?

[ishidaybi]

i found a scheme in html format. It wrk just like the demo video. But i would like to change into a format that kicad can read.

[ishidaybi]

like a reverse engenering

I see, you want to transform the bom back into kicad pcb. It is not possible to fully recreate original pcb because not all information is stored in bom, only what is needed to draw the pcb and some component information. Associations of some graphics elements like silkscreen texts to their footprints is also lost.

But in theory you could extract some info that will definitely help with reverse engineering. Position of traces and footprints mostly. You can look at DATAFORMAT.md in the repository to get an idea of how ibom stores the information and use kicad's API to recreate parts of pcb from that.

Thank you!
