gerber

The tool is 100% free, with no limits on size or parts and includes full gerber output.

The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber - its all about vision, systems, and building a business that can scale.

It would be great if they included the eagle file, official bom, and offical gerber data set all in github.

There are both schematics as well as board layout gerber files posted on the site.

So it's certainly possible for someone (especially a noob) to generate the wrong gerber data set for a given eagle file.

I hate having to hack gerber files because I don't have the source and it really limits changes.

It'd be like me saying: Every time I read about Gerber I wonder who the target market is.

However when you generate gerber files there are often a lot of settings to configure depending on how you want the files generated.

They also have schematics and gerber files for their hardware which is more than I can say for Electric Imp.

This is great for diff'ing Gerber files or images of them.

Sure, it'd be nice to have open drivers, but so would having the RTL of the processor, and the netlist and gerber of the board.

And then I realize that Gerber is made by and for old, married, child-bearing couples with who live in the Midwest.

Reverse to schematic, or reverse to board-layout ("gerber") level?

They patented it, then shopped the design around to the various knife companies (Gerber, etc), none of whom showed interest.

The output (Gerber files) from Kicad is often directly accepted by inexpensive PCB fabrication shops.

Chipotle's sauce, at least in this area, might as well be Gerber's baby food.
