Steps: 1.) Mount copper board to machine table 2.) Set Work Position Zero positions for XY axes 3.) Measure the surface points of the board (“Warp”) Steps for milling a single side PCB should be in such order:Ģ.) Set Work Position Zero positions for XY axesģ.) Measure the surface points of the board (Used for “Warp”) Prior following this tutorial we recommend that you also read tutorial for Warp procedure: Using “Warp” with PlanetCNC TNG software All parameter description is available in the PlanetCNC TNG software user manual. Please note that we will describe only parameters of Import NC drill and Import Gerber dialog that will be used for this tutorial. Both files are available in PlanetCNC TNG installation folder located in Samples folder. For the purposes of this tutorial we will use “NC drill” and “Gerber” files of our first Mk1 controller. You could however figure it out from the format of the coordinates but this is not exactly trivial (trial and error) thing to do. Some Gerber files have all parameter configuration already written in the comment section at the beginning of the file. This tutorial is intended to help you with production of single side PCBs with your CNC machine, Gerber files and PlanetCNC TNG software.īefore any work is done with machine you must be sure that the ‘Gerber’ and ‘NC drill’ files of your PCB design are correct and are generated with correct parameters.
