PCB Group Order Repo

TLDR; Panelize small boards made by different people from your local hacker space, order the panel to get a cheaper price, wait, break apart, PROFIT !

Also this works on gerbers so there is no need to use the same CAD tool as everybody else !

How it works

Prerequisites:

• You run a proper Linux/Unix OS.
• You have git, bash, curl, tar, gzip, freetype, gcc, make and lua installed.

Step by step: 0. Run lua/setup.sh to get Aperture Scripting and all its dependencies.

1. For each new oder add a new branch to this repository. master is just an example.
2. Put your gerbers for each single board into boards/boardname/
3. Read Aperture Scripting Examples to understand how stuff works.
4. Modify panelize.lua to include your board
5. source lua/setupenv.sh
6. lua panelize.lua
7. Review panelized gerbers in panel/...
8. git add board; git commit; git push
