Seperate Gerbers for NEMA14 and 17

Open Leafy1 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Would it be possible to wrap up the Gerber file zips required for each size board its not clear from the releases which size is included.

IIRC the gerbers included in the release are for 14 only. It's easy to double check using the kicad gerber viewer and measure the holes.

The releases are a scripted thing, and I don't think it's easy to script replacing the 14 with 17 edge cuts and hole locations but I've never tried to do it so I'm not positive. In the past 17 sized gerbers were always hand made and added.

Yes, it was done by hand. I have the board outline done as a footprint, I had a footprint for NEMA 14 outline and another for NEMA 17. I was basically just swapping the footprint to regenerate the board for the different sizes, but that's probably not the best way to do things, but I don't know how to automatically do that during CI without opening the project files and tinkering on them during the workflow, which doesn't seem great.
