The core functionality of gerbv is located in a separate library (libgerbv), allowing developers to include Gerber parsing/editing/exporting/rendering into other programs.

Gerbv is a native Linux application, and it runs on many common UNIX.

Gerbv is a viewer for Gerber RS-274X files, Excellon drill files, and CSV pick-and-place files.

Well I think this post has gone long enough.Gerbv - A Free/Open Source Gerber Viewer gerbv - A Free/Open Source Gerber Viewer Overview Dont want people going around sharing my hardware and not giving me credit, especially if I start selling this stuff in the future. If this board works out, then I'll probably throw this into the pile of 'Patents to do' so that when I post it online for the world to use, I get credit as the original designer. Its got a gas sensor and a microcontroller to regulate the correct temperature for the on-board heater. Thanks to BikeNomad and Jimk3038 for the how-to's.Īlso working on a new board which has everything to do with my smart-home project, which is a smart gas sensor board. Both DIY instructions can be found on Instructables. Also working on an IR sensor to flip the hot plate off when the temperature hits just right. Im prepping to build an exhaust fume hood in my apartment so that the solder fumes dont stagnate in the apartment.

Now for the update on the SMD soldering station: I've gotten my 1000W Hot Plate (yes Im aware I overpaid by 10 bucks), and still waiting for my Antex USA XS25 Soldering Iron in the mail. Its helped me a lot, and I hope it helps you. I hope you've learned something from this. Had I used this program, I would have caught those errors, and saved myself a lot of money in re-spinning the boards.

Take for instance one of my previous boards (I posted pics awhile back), the pad sizes were too small because of a software glitch, and two resistors share the same via. This is very useful to catch any mistakes you've done on the board. This gives you a nice pretty image of your board, so you can see what it will look like before you spend the money to make the board. If you happen to have the colors worked out for standard Green boards ( or some other variation thats popular) please let me know, and I'll link to the datasheet or site that its on. This Color Datasheet will show you the order the gerbers should be in, as well as the colors of each layer. You'll have to move the gerbers around (using +/-) to get them to the correct order. Now that you have your gerber files loaded, you should see them in whatever order you loaded them as, and a preview on the right. EAGLE does this by default using Laen's CAM file, so you dont have to worry. The other drill file (.dri) isnt recognized, so you have to generate the (.xln) file. Once you load the program, you have to import your gerber files (.ger extension), and the drill file (.xln).

For this post, I am using Laen's PCB boards for the colors (Purple silkscreen and Gold pads). You just have to know the order the layers go in, and what colors you should be using.

Unfortunately, there isnt a very good how to manual for this program, but it is easy to work with. So this little program can convert all your Gerber files into a nice pretty image on your screen, which you can later export as a png to post on your website or share around. FYI: this is available for Mac's on MacPorts, and as gerbv on linux/ubuntu. This weekend I came across a Gerber Illustrator called GerbV (thanks to Addidis).
