PCB-Gcode is started via Board Mode menu: File -> Run ULP -> pcb-gcode-setup.ulp Then tell Eagle where to find it like this:Įagle control panel -> Directories -> Add the folder path under User Language Programs Starting PCB-gcode For simplicities sake I suggest you unpack it into the eagle "ulp" folder. You install it by unpacking the zip file and then telling Eagle where to find it. If it doesnt't work, here is a backup of the version I used. Downloading PCB-gcodeĭownload the plugin from the PCB Gcode forum page, here you should find a link that takes you to the latest version. I based this tutorial on my own experiences and on the PCB-Gcode manual. This tutorial assumes you have already made a PCB in Eagle ( My first steps in Eagle) and that you have checked that it is compatible with milling Checking milling desing rules in Eagle. This is a preview of a typical 4 passes insulation milling with a 0.4mm diamter milling bit and 50% stepover. Adding custom post processors is possible, here is a guide. The standard flavours of G-code it can output included Mach3 which is what we use in the lab. PCB-Gcode adds CNC milling path generation functionality to Eagle via a plugin.
