Gerbers!

HalloweenBob

Is anyone willing to check my gerber files to make sure I did them correctly before I send the boards out for manufacture? You can grab my set of gerbers here: http://sindyskinless.com/All_Gerbers.zip This is my first experience with gerbers and making boards, and I don't know if I really have a grasp on it.

I reviewed your gerbers and in general they look OK.

I got some error messages for the Excellon drill file 005_hub-PTH.drl.
Apparently is using some commands that are not compatible with the gerber's viewer:

G01X3.1014Y-4.7315
M16
G05
G00X3.0758Y-5.0071
M15
G01X3.1014Y-5.0071
M16
G05
T2
G00X3.1949Y-4.765
M15
G01X3.1949Y-4.7768
M16
G05
G00X3.1949Y-4.9618
M15
G01X3.1949Y-4.9736
M16

I'm not an expert on the Excellon format, so I can't tell you if your manufacturer will find problems with those.(here's a description of what those commands means). I guess that if they are not supported, then they will be skipped, potentially resulting on some missing holes.

But from what I saw on the Gerber viewer it seems like you are not missing any holes. Since you mentioned on other thread that you already sent the files to the manufacturer, i guess that the only thing you can do now is wait for the result.

By the way, you can check the files yourself with a GERBER viewer. KICAD ships with one, or another good option is Gerbv.

Thank you. They are on their way to me, so I'll know for sure soon. The manufacturer found no defects.

When I made these, I had no idea that the ID_Module was no longer being used. If you want to use these gerbers, ignore the file for the ID_Module. Don't bother having those boards made. I will remove that file from the zip that you can get from that link, so anyone who has not already downloaded this will not have to worry about this issue.

Thanks for posting these @HalloweenBob, I put in an order with jlc pcb using these gerbers, I'll report on the results when they ship.

Thank you. I have had a bunch of both boards printed. They came out great. Please let me know how yours come out.
