EAGLE PCB VERSION 9.1 HOW TO
EAGLE PCB VERSION 9.1 ZIP FILE

Now that PCB-GCode is installed, we need to set up a few things so that it can easily generate G-Code that works with your CNC Mill.

EAGLE PCB VERSION 9.1 ZIP FILE

Now place all of the files from the PCB-GCode Zip file into the pcbgcode folder.

Open the external_usr-lang-prog folder.

Close EAGLE and open the Documents folder on your computer.

Now click Yes to let the program create a new folder for this directory.

Note: Do not delete any other text unless you know what you are doing or you will loose access to other resources and libraries in EAGLE.

Add $HOME\eagle\external_usr-lang-prog\pcbgcode to the end of what is already in the User Language Programs field.

From the Control Panel window, click Options.

Note: These instructions are for EAGLE 7.2.0 running in Windows 7, but they should work for other configurations as well. Once EAGLE is installed, PCB-GCode will have to be added to the User Language Programs list so it can be used. If this is not the case, I recommend checking out any one of the many tutorials that people have made for EAGLE like this one.

EAGLE PCB VERSION 9.1 HOW TO

We will assume that you already have EAGLE installed and that you know how to use it for creating a PCB design. Though there are many ways to create G-Code for PCBs, I will focus on EAGLE and PCB-GCode because they are rather easy to use and the software is free for making basic PCBs Software Used:ĮAGLE is free to use for making small PCBs. PCB-GCode is an add-on for EAGLE that lets you create a Tool Path in G-Code so that it can be made by a CNC Mill like my Shapeoko 2. G-Code is made up of some simple commands that tell a CNC mill how to move so that your designs come out correctly. This method is also a good way to do low run or one off testing PCBs. Prototyping a circuit board in this way is a good idea so you can be sure that things are working before sending your PCB off to a fabricator.
