Re: Error while starting generating the gcode #pcb-gcode

Hi Tobi,

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying.

You mention Ubuntu, but your screenshot seems to be from Windows?

Also not sure about Meine.ulp.

pcb-gcode-setup.ulp should allow you to change options, then run pcb-gcode.ulp to do the actual work of making the files.

Also note that the directory for pcb-gcode files has to be in Options | Directories in the Eagle control panel. Please refer to the manual for details.

Hey everybody,
I am new around the forum as I came across the pcb-gcode UPL. So happy to be here.

Since a while I am looking for a new option to generate my own PCB's and I was always wondering if I can handle some PCB milling with my 3D printer. As I am having holiday at the moment and came across your very interesting program which convert the Eagle PCB data to some gcode, I am really interested in this approach.

However, if I am going to start the generation of the gcode by clicking "Accept and create my board" within EAGLE, I get an error that stats that the `Meine.upl` can not be opened. Please see the image attached.

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop and I also tried to generate the file myself. Doing so, I got another error stating that we have an unexpected file ending.

Would be nice to get some feedback from you.

Thank you in advance,

Tobi
