Boards (renatorgr)ECADConfidence: Medium

A JLCPCB BOM check on a 24-relay ESP32 board found parts with no LCSC number, parts in shortfall, and two wrong parts: C6116 is a 74LVT244ADB, not the ULN2803A needed, and C23182 is 47 ohm, not 49.9 ohm, on the Ethernet terminations. KiCad DRC said 0 errors and 0 unconnected the whole time, because DRC never looks at what the LCSC field points to.
