Amiga 600 Rev2A gerber files
 
This one is for Mick ;)

I've converted the Amiga 600 Rev2A SVG data from amigapcb.org into gerber files:
I have removed this link and after discussing with CD32Freak - BippyM

Feedback is welcome ;)

Perfect. Thanks for sharing.

One suggestion. I noticed that the Gerber layers are very incoherently named throughout your repositories. Can you decide for a unified naming convention and name all the files accordingly? That would be awesome.

Thanks a lot !!!

Very nice

Yes, you're right. It's because sometimes the Gerber export is from Sprint-Layout (CD32 and A1200) and the others are a direct Gerber export from FAB3000. I could rename the files by hand. How would you prefer the naming convention? I think {motherboard name}{revision}{[top/bottom}{layer}

Mick 11 February 2020 16:16

Cheers CD32Freak, I'm a bit busy playing with your A1200 ones atm though. ;)

I just had a quick look at the files how come there is a VCC and GND plane? I thought the A600 was a 2 layer board? it had planes as well as the tracks? :confused

The AmigaPCB data has the A600 as a 4-layer board, perhaps Commodore was thinking of doing this or perhaps it's an error on AmigaPCB. In reality it's a 2-layer board.

Well, I personally would pick one of the popular boardhouses, like Oshpark or JLCPCB and follow their suggested naming scheme.

Of course, the base name should be {motherboard}{revision}.

Thank you very much for your work!

JLCPCB suggests {boardname}.{layer extension}: https://support.jlcpcb.com/article/2...aming-patterns but personally I don't find it very clear. So I will stick with {motherboard name}{revision}{[top/bottom}{layer} :)

@CD32Freak
One layer is missing - BOARD OUTLINE!

Mick 17 February 2020 10:42

The scale seems off with these, when I import them into Kicad the longest part of the board measures around 270mm when it should be closer to 317mm.

CD32Freak 18 February 2020 09:04

@Boboo_SK
Sorry, there is no outline layer at amigapcb, so you will have to draw it yourself in your EDA :-)

@Mick
I'll have a look at it when I have the time. I could have used the wrong scaling factor while printing the HTML layer to PDF in Chrome.

CD32Freak 18 February 2020 19:59

@Mick
I've discovered what I did wrong and the scale should be correct now. I've uploaded the new Gerber export to my repository. Thanks for noticing! ;)

Beware of these errors.

CD32Freak 19 February 2020 10:18

@Boboo_SK
Relax, those corners are not tracks and you can remove them, because they are meant to align the layers. You can also use them to create a border outline easily :)

Great work @CD32Freak I got a few dead a600 and this will help to revive them! Let me know if you need extra help.

Ceason87 21 February 2020 23:09

Hi guys,

sorry to revive an old thread but i'm in need of help

has anyone had this board manufactured as i've never bought a blank pcb from anywhere am am getting seriously confused with it all.

are the GND & VCC files not needed?

also if anyone has had one made how much did it end up costing and where from?

Thanks in advance
Chris

CD32Freak 22 February 2020 15:19

Hi Ceason87,

These Gerber files are meant to be used as an offline reference and I cannot guarantee it will work when you use them to manufacture a real PCB. However, if you can afford it, please go ahead!

Hey, I'm going to use that as an disclaimer :D
