Ordering from JLCPCB

All production files are pre-generated in release/:

1. Upload release/hw-module-gps-JLCPCB.zip as gerbers
2. Enable PCB Assembly, upload:
   • release/hw-module-gps_bom_jlc.csv as BOM
   • release/hw-module-gps_cpl_jlc.csv as CPL
3. Use release/hw-module-gps-ibom.html (open in browser) to verify component placement

Regenerating Release Files

Requires Docker.

./run-kibot-docker.sh

This runs KiBot via ghcr.io/inti-cmnb/kicad9_auto:1.8.5 and regenerates all files in release/.

---

Opening the Design

Requires KiCad 9. Open hw-module-gps.kicad_pro.
