    There have been many great comments pointing out that this was recorded in KiCad 6 and the latest release is KiCad 8. That's my mistake, but I have retested all of these plugins on the latest update and they all work as normal except for "Gerber to Order", which seems to be broken. In the mean time, until that plugin is updated, you can use "Fabrication Toolkit" for JLC PCB and it should work fine, even for other PCB manufacturers.
    There is an alternative called "PCBway fabrication toolkit" for PCBway, but seems this plugin has also broken during the update.

      Thank you for the video ! I found it strange that you don't mentionned autoimport which allow to autoimport models (schematic + pcb + 3D) from online librairies. Makes me wonder if i'm at fault then ?

    Oh, it is so fun to see that you use our coil generator! There is a huge update with new features coming soon!

    Another great plugin, although currently broken in v8 (in work), is kicad-action-scripts which includes a way to easily add thermal relief holes for your PCB.

    The coil generator has a few shorts in the trace at the outer diameter when trace width is greater then 250um (space 200um).

    😃 Excelente No sabía de esos Plugins!!!! ya los instalo. Espero KiCAD en algun momento deje de usar el sistema de Ventanas, y se con pestañas como Altium que es mas cómodo. Por lo demás, realmente cada vez mejor!!! Saludos desde Argentina

    When creating a set of gerbers for JLCPCB, do you still have access to their board population service? I have used that from Easyeda, but with that I can see what parts they stock.

    • @bennydontplaythat
      @bennydontplaythat 10 месяцев назад +2

      Yes, you just need to manually browse LCSC and find the equivalent part numbers to modify your BOM, then they can do it.
