Just received one of the boards that Ben had fabricated from the files I converted from RS274D to RS274X a few months back. The PCB quality is outstanding. There was no money involved. I did not ask f

I know that this is an old thread, but it was never clear exactly what the files being converted were for...was this a conversion of the posted M0HYT thru-hole uBitx gerber files? From the tone of the

Wack me upside the head, should have thought of that ... I've uploaded the files I got... I cannot vouch that it makes a functioning uBitx, I can only vouch that a Chinese vendor used the files and se

Hi Ben, Thank you for the file upload! I played a bit with the drill files to see if OSHPark can use the files. The good news is that their tool list editing tips show us how to combine the two drill

Yes... but look at how much fun I'll have! Provided someone here can help me figure this out!

P.S. How 'bout a free PCB for the help? I'm looking to build this: https://groups.io/g/BITX20/message/54034

I'm trying to use the free trial of Gerbview to convert an RS-274D Gerber file to an RS-274X... but I'm a tad lost in the details of doing so - as I'm not experienced at this. I've already paid for a

​Wow, that's a pretty complicated printed circuit board....and we already have a ton ofproblems with one laid out by a fellow who has years of experience at it.....wish you good luck!!! cheers, gordon

I've had some luck with hiring on fiverr.com for totally unrelated small tasks. Might be worth seeing what you can find searching "convert gerber". Contact anyone that has a listing close to what you

You might find this amusing, but I already did this... and Fiverr responded with the following: Unfortunately, your Gig request "Gerber Files... Convert RS-274D to..." did not pass our review. It was
