[WIP] Crude script which takes gerber files and converts them to pdf with negative circuits for UV dry film printing

Gerber pdf util

Crude script which takes gerber files from Autodesk Eagle and converts them to pdf with negative circuits for UV dry film printing

Main reason for this project is lack of quality negative export from eagle which is also proportional with real-world size.

WIP

This project is WORK IN PROGRESS.

Circuit placement is hardcoded and i need to implement some way to parameterize it.

Usage

# setup
# 1. Clone repo and move to project dir
$ yarn && yarn build
$ yarn link

# Move to your working directory with gerbers
$ gerber-to-pdf bottom.gbr top.gbr
# This creates output.pdf file with negatives in current dir

# If you also want to add drill holes
$ gerber-to-pdf bottom.gbr top.gbr -d drill.xln

Example output

Link to example pdf (It takes while to render in github for some reason)
