EAGLE: Exporting a BOM file and CPL file for JLCPCB SMT Assembly
(1/2) > >>
MrD:
I've completed the design for my PCB for my Flash-based Mega Drive cartridge I mentioned in another thread. I'm now up to the stage where I need to send it to JLCPCB and get it evaluated and priced.

According to the JLCPCB SMT Assembly website, I need two files:

- BOM file(Bill of Materials) (.xlsx spreadsheet)
- CPL file(Component Placement List / Pick & Place File (PNP) file) (.xlsx spreadsheet)

Can somebody point me to instructions and/or an example on how to export these files from EAGLE in the correct format for JLCPCB's service?
luiHS:

You can use the CAM of the Eagle. At least in version 9 there are options to generate the BOM and PnP files.


MrD:
Thank you.

In the CAM Processor I can export a CSV for the BOM, and I guess I have to manually swizzle it in Excel to get it to match JLCPCBs expected columns?

There's no option to export a PNP file though? This is in EAGLE 9.4.2.
luiHS:
 
JLCPCB accepts files in CSV format.

And to generate the PnP files, you can use a ULP, for example mountsmd.ulp. I use the one that generates files for the Neoden4 because I have my own Pick and Place machine.

 
MrD:
I appreciate you walking me through this, I'll let you know how it goes.
