Re: [gogoboard] Making the GoGo Board with Modella machine and MIT

Hi  Tarun,

I have actually never done this. But I'm attaching two files for you to try. One is an SVG file exported directly from KiCAD. The second is a b/w PNG file I converted from the SVG file.

I hope this helps,
-Roger.

Hi Arnan/Paulo

Last Saturday I went to Manchester (UK) Fablab to attempt printing the GoGo board using the Roland Modella Machine. But I was not able to print off the board with the .png version of the USB Schematic.

At the Fablab I used MIT's FAB software application - a python script created by Prof. Neil Gershenfeld - (http://fab.cba.mit.edu/content/tools/software/cad_cam/) The application accepts a .png file as input, and then allows one to set the thickness of the traces on the PCB. But the .png file of the USB Schematic ( was getting distorted after giving (make path) command.

The .png was created by converting one of the gerber files to pdf and then to .png. Not sure if this is the right approach to print the PCB using the modella machine?

Please suggest on what might be the right approach here.
