Searched for the answer already. I have test points which are SMT components that I want to show up in the BOM but they do not. The checkbox to not be in the BOM is NOT checked. There is no # in the ref designator.
Which Kicad version are you using? How are you building your BOM (schematic or board)? Are you using any filters for the output?
V6.0.7. Using the schematic bom tool with a plugin called KiBOM.
thanks
I believe KiBOM has a filter that excludes test points. You need to edit the config file to remove this filter.
where is the config file located?
Don’t remember off the top of my head where KiBOM installs it. Check the doco. You’ll probably want to edit a copy, the config file is meant to be different for each fab.
It’s bom.ini in the project directory. Editing that had no effect. You can tell it to include or exclude “do not fit” tagged components but the test points are not tagged that way.
Is this due to footprint Fabrication attributes - component type = Other?
This is in the standard bom.ini:
[REGEX_EXCLUDE]
; A series of regular expressions used to exclude parts from the BoM
; If a component matches ANY of these, it will be excluded from the BoM
; Column names are case-insensitive
; Format is: "[ColumName]\t[Regex]" (separated by a tab)
