EAGLE cad helpers for JLCPCB (https://jlcpcb.com) production and assembly services
Rules and scripts have been tested under EAGLE cad 9.5.
They're provided AS IS, with no warranty. Any feedback is greatly appreciated and can be provided via issue tickets.
This repo is not endorsed by JLCPCB.
Copy each file in their respective folders (USER_HOME/Documents/EAGLE/).
- cam/jlcpcb-2layers.cam: 2-layers version
The jobs follow the naming guidelines defined here: https://support.jlcpcb.com/article/29-suggested-naming-patterns They also include tCream/bCream solderpaste layers that could be used for the stencil service.
- design rules/jlcpcb-2layers.dru: 2-layers version, 35u copper, 1.6mm board thickness
Mainly based on EAGLE's standard design rules, it adds the declared JLCPCB's capabilities listed here: https://jlcpcb.com/capabilities/Capabilities
Note: annular ring for pads aren't minimal, in order to allow proper solderability of TH components
- ulps/jlcpcb_smta_exporter.ulp: BOM (bill of materials) / CPL (pick&place) exporter
The smta exporter ULP can be used to quicken the process of creating the required files for the SMT assembly service.
Observe the following:
- it must be executed from the board editor
- it asks for the layer to process (either top or bottom), this must be consistent with the ordering process
- it asks for a directory where to export the two files
- the two files will be named
<boardname>_<side>_bom.csvand<boardname>_<side>_cpl.csv - components rotations are sketchy and must be visually checked on the online gerber viewer once uploaded the files
The ULP can extract LCSC part ordering numbers from the packages attributes. The attribute must be named LCSC_PART and it should contain the order code found in the parts library https://jlcpcb.com/client/index.html#/parts (eg: C25804).
