[pcbgcode:master] New Comment on Issue #9 When generating drill file, first drill OK. Remaing drills use "Spot Drill" depth? By mprowe: Hi Harry, I'm not sure that the two problems are the same? Using ver-3.6.3 (and previously ver-3.6.2.4) if I select "Generate bottom outlines" AND "Spot drill holes" I found no problem with the spotted points that were made. As far as I could tell the points were cut to the correct depth (0.2mm in my settings) by the V-Engraver after the track outlines were cut. i.e. both tasks were in the *.etch gcode file. My problem, is different. If I select "Generate bottom (or top) drill" ONLY. The drill file will drill the first hole correctly but the rest will only be to the depth specified in the "Spot drill holes depth" field. Lastly, just to be sure, I made the amendments described on your web page. As far as I could tell with the limited testing, I could detect no difference in the gcode output with or without these amendments! Now, it is highly likely that I have not done them correctly but I have attached them below in the hope that you could check them for me. Regards, M. 3files.zip

Bug fix release 3.6.3

#release
Hello Folks, I just created a new release that fixes a couple of long-standing issues. Issue #5 - images sometimes aren¡¯t found for pcb-gcode-setup, which can make the window taller than your screen. Issue #6 - documents still had links to the old sites. Updated these to the current groups site, and also bumped the version number to 3.6.3. Regards, John

[pcbgcode:master] reported: Does PCB-GCode Work with Latest Eagle Version on Mac?
#github
[pcbgcode:master] New Comment on Issue #4 Does PCB-GCode Work with Latest Eagle Version on Mac? By JohnAtl: Yes, it does. You'll want to get the .zip file from here. When you unzip it, be sure that the directory structure is preserved. Then you'll need to add the location of the pcb-gcode folder in your directory options. See docs/pcbgcode.pdf for details. The pdf is on your machine, or you can find it here.

[pcbgcode:master] new issue: Mismatch between ULP and settings files versions - won't run
#github
[pcbgcode:master] New Issue Created by howiemnet: #3 Mismatch between ULP and settings files versions - won't run The settings files (particularly pcb-machine.h) have been updated with new parameters, but the actual ULP hasn't. Looks like there was a new version of pcb-gcode made 4 months ago, but only half uploaded here. Symptom: after a fresh install of this, when you launch pcb-gcode-setup from Eagle, it fails with "Unknown Identifier 'DEFAULT_WIDTH'. Nosing around it seems that DEFAULT_WIDTH is no longer in use - in older versions of pcb-gcode it was defined in pcb-machine.h, but that file doesn't have it. The dates on the files in this current distro are a red flag - all the subfolders are new but the files in the root are ... really old.

Older files were on GitHub, anyone want to verify what I've uploaded?

#pcbgcode
#thanks
I just uploaded what should be version 3.6.2.4 to GitHub, and would appreciate anyone who can verify that it works. I had some older files on there, 3.6.0.x. I don't currently have anything set up to check it with, sadly, not even Eagle. https://github.com/JohnAtl/pcbgcode/releases/tag/Release-3.6.2.4 Thanks, JJ

Any interest in a new forum?

#pcbgcode
#development
I've been using other forums that run on Discourse. I think they are easier to navigate than groups.io (and Discord), as everything here seems to run together. I think I could set one up on Digital Ocean fairly easily. Not sure about migrating all accounts over, if/how email notifications would work, etc. Open to input! Thanks, JJ

Newbie Error?
4
#pcbgcode
Hi Guys This is my first attempt at using Eagle and PCB_Gcode. I have a very simple 12 keypad with smt resistor network. All was going well and Eagle looks good with top layer as expected with tracks /pads/resistors etc. Bottom just had Key pads as expected. All looks good in Eagle Manufacturing with top/bottom layers as expected. The first few runs of PCB_Gcode did as expected but now on the bottom layer I¡¯m getting an exact mirror of the top layer. I¡¯m getting the tracks etc instead of just the pads. I¡¯ve checked and rechecked everything that I can think of to no avail. It¡¯s almost certainly a newbie error! An advice much appreciated. Regards Barry

Can someone remind me what java I need to run the viewer. Could not find docs on this. I'm using Eagle 7.7 on OSX Big Sur. Eagle works fine and pcb-gcode runs and generates files. just no viewer. thanks Ian
