About the KiCad JLC template PCB
KiCad JLC template is an open source PCB design by RickP, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 40.6 × 40.6 mm, with 3 components from 3 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 1 battery holder, 1 diode and 1 resistor.
From the project
A project template for KiCad PCB projects with automated generation of fabrication files for JLCPCB through github actions.
A github project template for KiCad PCB projects with automated generation of fabrication files for JLCPCB through github actions.
Everything is generated and put in a release on push. You can see the output on the releases page.
If you change the name of your kicad pcb and schematic file you have to change it in .github/workflows/jlcfabfiles.yml as well.
On the demo board I had to copy the footprint for the battery clip in an own library and rotate it 180 degrees because it was reversed with JLCPCB assembly. You will encounter this is lot - JLC is showing the polarity of all components…
