## Exporting gcode files from KiCad
|
|
|
|
Adapt milling and drilling parameters in `millproject`. Look up [pcb2gcode/wiki](https://github.com/pcb2gcode/pcb2gcode/wiki) for help.
|
|
```bash
|
|
nano millproject
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the export by providing the `.kicad_pcb` file as a first argument:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod +x export.sh
|
|
./export.sh Step_Down_Carrier_Board.kicad_pcb
|
|
```
|
|
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 `gcode/drill.ngc` file for drilling holes.
|
|
* Load the `gcode/outline.ngc` file for milling the board outlines.
|
|
* Load the `gcode/back.ngc` file if you want to mill the isolation traces.
