BOM file from e-schema

Schematic

Hi. I run V4.0.5 under win7 64 bit professional.
The bom2csv runs with the message:
xsltproc -o “//SD/Admin/DDW/DDDDesigns/VCS439_mods_Project 27/VCS439 mods/VCS439_V3/KK_newVCS439_V3.2/VCS439_V3.2.csv” “C:/KiCad/bin/scripting/plugins/bom2csv.xsl” “//SD/Admin/DDW/DDDDesigns/VCS439_mods_Project 27/VCS439 mods/VCS439_V3/KK_newVCS439_V3.2/VCS439_V3.xml”

The result is an xml file. Can I change it to produce .csv files? From the many comments on the web it seems a major issue with V4.0.0 onward.

I would recommend using Python plugins to export BOMs from here especially the bom_csv_grouped_by_value.py. You have to get all the *.py files, put them into a directory and then add them as plugins. I wrote some more detailed instructions here.

My BOM generator is an improvement on the default exporter script linked above: https://github.com/SchrodingersGat/KiBoM

No extra libs required, just copy the scripts :slight_smile:
