hdlf_example_sensor (filmil)ECADConfidence: Medium

The BOM is generated from the netlist because the circuit is written in code (SKiDL) and there is no schematic for KiCad BOM tool to read. Rotation corrections are left out on purpose, and the design doc asks a person to check every part in JLCPCB placement preview before ordering. The last cross-check is still a human looking at a vendor screen.
