Exporting gcode files from gerber
Adapt milling and drilling parameters in millproject:
nano millproject
First, generate gerber files. These are the same used to order from a vendor. There are no specific settings, just:
KiCad PCB Editor → File → Fabrication Outputs → Gerbers
- Set "Output directory" to "gerbers/"
- Select only B.Cu (bottom copper)
- Click Plot
- Then Generate Drill Files → Generate
Adapt milling and drilling parameters in millproject:
nano millproject
Then run:
docker run --rm -i -t -v ".:/data" ptodorov/pcb2gcode
The .ngc files for milling and drilling will be generated in the gcode directory (must exist).
Load the ngc file to gSender program for the fabrication.
