Hi everybody.
Hope someone can help me.
Here we use the Manual Component Insertion (people solder components manually), so I was wondering if ther is a way to automatically generate an Insertion Sheet for our components, via the PCB editor.
Something like a color guide that indicates which elements are the same ones and where are they located, and we can relate them to the BOM list generated in Eeschema.
If you need something static (e.g. on paper), then you might need something a bit different; I’m not sure if it can generate static assembly guides in addition to the HTML interactive guide.
But I was wondering if there a tool that generates a file (pdf maybe) that colors each gruop of components of the same value (all 10K resistors in red, all 1K resistors in blue, etc) so I can print it and give it to people thar solder the components.
It is a great tool, but yes, I need to have something static so I can Print it. I was wondering if there a tool that generates a file (pdf maybe) that colors each gruop of components of the same value (all 10K resistors in red, all 1K resistors in blue, etc).
I had not used Interactive HTML Bom* before, and just installed it via the Plugin and content Manager and experimented a bit.
It’s quite easy to select & highlight a group of components (such as all 100nF capacitors) and it has the option to save images of the current board view.
So it does seem to be able to do something close to what you want.
