The script will generate gerber files in the `output` directory and then convert them into `ngc` format in the `gcode` directory.
Load the `ngc` file to `gSender` program for the fabrication.
The script will first generate gerber files in the `output` directory and then convert them into `ngc` format in the `gcode` directory.
Launch the `gSender` program.
* Load the `drill.ngc` file for drilling holes.
* Load the `outline.ngc` file for milling the board outlines.
* Load the `back.ngc` file if you want to mill the isolation traces.
