BOM online viewer by andreika

@ has created https://rawgit.com/andreika-git/prometheus/master/html/prometheus-map.html for Prometheus and I absolutely love it!

Would it be possible to create something similar for Frankenso as well? I can take care of nice pictures and convert BOMs/.pos files into the necessary formats if needed. Are you currently using your own format for data import or some existing tool format?

I think it's quite possible. All you need is a good pcb photo and three CSV-files: BOM, Pick&Place and footprint sizes. All field names are customizable (see component-settings.php). First two can be exported directly from PCB data and used as is. The third one - with footprint sizes - should be created manually (sorry). All other component data (urls, component photos etc.) is automatically downloaded and retrieved from Digi-Key website! Also, there's a little of Prometheus-specific 'magic' inside CSVs (two-sided footprints, overrides etc)...
The source script files (generator):

KICAD BOM export includes footprints. As well KICAD can generate a .pos file for positions. So it sounds like it would not be very hard to do.

Oh, also I love the online BOM viewer, very cool.

That is cool.
