README.mdBOM tool
This folder contains a single file, bom2groupedCsv.xsl. It can be run through tools->Generate Bill of Materials
Use the command line: xsltproc -o "%O.csv" "C:\Github\SparkFun-KiCad-Libraries\Tools\PROD_ID_Bom_Plugin\bom2groupedCsv.xsl" "%I"
The BOM file will be exported as a .csv to the project folder. When opening this file, use commas as delimiters. If a .csv isn't generated, but a .xml is, make sure that none of your files have any spaces in their names.

You don't need to install the zip contents as described in the video, just execute the .xsl file with the changed command line. I suspect xsltproc wasn't distribued with earlier versions of KiCad.
