项目历史

The project developed as a command-line converter for producing isolation-routing, drilling, and board-outline toolpaths from Gerber and Excellon files. Later capabilities include autolevelling and an official companion GUI.

采用历史

The official README documents distribution through Debian and Ubuntu repositories, Arch Linux's AUR, Fedora release tarballs, and Homebrew on macOS.

使用方式

Users place Gerber and Excellon inputs in a working directory, tune machining parameters through command-line options or a millproject file, and generate G-code for a CNC controller.

The official example instructs users to rename millproject_example to millproject and place it beside the Gerber files. The --config option can select one or more alternative files.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

pcb2gcode joins two specialist toolchains: Gerber-based PCB design output and CNC G-code fabrication. Its package dependencies, including geometry, Gerber, and Boost libraries, reflect that unusual boundary between electronic design automation and machine control.
