KiCad plugin that makes one HTML page showing where every part goes on the board; used while hand-placing parts.
How it looks
Real geometry: CORE3588 pads, the 100 nF capacitors highlighted
What an iBOM shows when you click one line: "100nF capacitor, 16 pieces", and every place one goes on CORE3588 lights up (amber). Built here from our board file; an iBOM page does this for every line.
How it works
The BOM is a list: part, value, how many. It does not say where they go.
An iBOM is one web page with the list on one side and the board on the other.
Click a line and every spot where that part goes lights up; tick it off as you place it. Handy for hand assembly; we order PCBA, so we use it mainly for checking.
Where it fits
Made from the BOM and the footprint positions (the same data as the CPL).
