Once upon a time we had some scripts that could render PCBs in a semi-realistic way that made it easy to see what all the layers (copper, solder mask, solder paste, silk screen) were doing.
Alas, file formats changed with time and those scripts stopped working. Today I sat down and fixed them. Here's the PCB of the "20170409" design: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/anelok-20170409-20170507.png From top to bottom, this shows: - the top side of the PCB, - the bottom side of the PCB, - x-ray view of only the copper of both side, top is orange, bottom is green. The x-ray view lets one see what is below/above a given item, e.g., to follow a connection or to determine if it would be safe to drill a hole in that area. To generate the "pretty" layout, go to anelok/hw2, "make brd", plot as Gerber with the aux axis (sic) as origin, then run "make pretty". The scripts this uses live in http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/eda-tools/source/tree/master/fab - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
