JLCPCB Export

Export all the required files for JLCPCB assembly from a typeCAD project.

It will:

• run KiCAD's DRC on the PCB
• check if the git repository is clean
• create a folder structure based on the typeCAD project version and board named
• generate drill, position, gerbers, and BOM files formatted for JLCPCB
• zip the gerbers and drill file

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• a working typeCAD project

Installation

Run the following command in your project directory, where your typeCAD package.json file is located:

npm i @typecad/jlcpcb-export

Usage

import { PCB, Schematic } from '@typecad/typecad';
import { jlcpcb_export } from "@typecad/jlcpcb-export";

let typecad = new Schematic('project');
let pcb = new PCB('project');

jlcpcb_export(typecad, pcb);

If the project doesn't pass DRC or the git repository is not clean, the function will throw an error. They can be ignored by calling the function like:

jlcpcb_export(typecad, pcb, true);
