Hello.
On going to redesign UniSolder in KiCad, the original author agreeded it as
you can see in the following forum thread.
http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7218
Really universal soldering controller
I'm going to switch from Eagle to KiCad. Despite being a newbie at
electronics, EDA and having severe difficulties to switch to KiCad, this is
going to be my personal major challenge and really want to do it.
In order to make the process,
a bit less painful, I would like to know how to reuse the Gerber files to
import them to PCBnew.
Due to really very personal reasons, I'll redesign the PCB to adapt it to a
personal portable electrics suitcase extreme lab-workshop with a laptop
included. Ideas are welcomed, but I'll post a detailed forum post about it
on some of major electronics forums ( slaving kicad.info too) after making
one about my custom UniSolder.
I have no idea how to make fit many things with other stuff on my list on
such really limited space while being economical (PSU,
uCurrent/OpenCurrent[1] [2] [3] [4], enough space for tools, Open Hardware
oscilloscope if possible, UV exposure box and many more things). I know
this is going to be really crazy, but I really want to do it.
Are there some way to import the Gerber and then make it appropriately
associated to the redrawn schematic?
Any help would be really appreciated, you'll also be noted in the
contributions list ;)
Kind regards.
PS: Maybe I'll post this on KiCad.info, Dangerous Prototypes, All About
Circuits and EEvBLOG too. But I'll mention ever contribution and help in
all them.
