pcbdata struct

This document describes pcbdata json structure that plugin extracts from PCB file and injects into generated bom page.

Notes on conventions:

  • Coordinate system has origin in top left corner i.e. Y grows downwards
  • All angles are in degrees measured clockwise from positive X axis vector
  • Units are arbitrary but some browsers will not handle too large numbers well so sticking to mm/mils is preferred.
pcbdata = {

   // whole board on canvas.

drawing struct

All drawings are either graphical items (arcs, lines, circles, curves) or text.

Rendering method and properties are determined based on type attribute.

graphical items

segment

{
  "type": "segment",
  "start": [x, y],
  "end": [x, y],
  "width": width,
}

rect

{
  "type": "rect",
  "start": [x, y], // coordinates of opposing corners
  "end": [x, y],
  "width": width,
}

circle

{
  "type": "circle",
  "start": [x, y],
  "radius": radius,
  // Optional boolean, defaults to 0
  "filled": 0,
  // Line width (only has effect for non-filled shapes)
  "width": width,
}

arc

{
  "type": "arc",
  "width": width,
  // SVG path of the arc given as 'd' attribute of svg spec.
  // If this parameter is specified everything below it is ignored.
  "svgpath": svgpath,
  "start": [x, y], // arc center
  "radius": radius,
  "startangle": angle1,
  "endangle": angle2,
}

curve

{
  "type": "curve", // Bezier curve
  "start": [x, y],
  "end": [x, y],
  "cpa": [x, y], // control point A
  "cpb": [x, y], // control point B
  "width": width,
}

polygon

{
  "type": "polygon",
  // Optional, defaults to 1
  "filled": 1,
  // Line width (only has effect for non-filled shapes)
  "width": width
  // SVG path of the polygon given as 'd' attribute of svg spec.
  // If this parameter is specified everything below it is ignored.
  "svgpath": svgpath,
  "pos": [x, y],
  "angle": angle,
  "polygons": [

    ...
  ]
}

text

{
  "pos": [x, y],
  "text": text,
  // SVG path of the text given as 'd' attribute of svg spec.
  // If this parameter is specified then height, width, angle,
  // text attributes and justification is ignored. Rendering engine
  // will not attempt to read character data from newstroke font and
  // will draw the path as is. "thickness" will be used as stroke width.
  "svgpath": svgpath,

  "width": width,
  // -1: justify left/top
  // 0: justify center
  // 1: justify right/bot

    "italic", "mirrored"
  ],

footprint struct

Footprints are a collection of pads, drawings and some metadata.

      "drawing": drawing,
    },

bom row struct

Bom row is a list of reference sets

Reference set is array of tuples of (ref, id) where id is just a unique numeric identifier for each footprint that helps avoid collisions when references are duplicated.

[
  [reference_name, footprint_id],
  ...
]

config struct

config = {
  "dark_mode": bool,
  "show_pads": bool,
  "show_fabrication": bool,
  "show_silkscreen": bool,
  "highlight_pin1": bool,
  "redraw_on_drag": bool,
  "board_rotation": int,
  "checkboxes": "checkbox1,checkbox2,...",
  // One of "bom-only", "left-right", "top-bottom".
  "bom_view": bom_view,
