Pixels Past Cartridge Gerber Files

[electrotrains]

Hi All,

 

Last year (before I started developing the Ultimate Cart) I decided to have a go at assembling some homemade cartridges using the Pixels Past circuit boards:

It took me a while to get the Gerber files provided in a suitable state to upload to OSH Park - there was a missing board outline file, and the drills file needed editing.

 

In case anybody else ever fancies trying to get some of these boards produced from OSH Park, I've attached the known working zip file of the Gerbers that I used when I got my boards made.

Robin,

 

How's everything going in Scotland? I might move there if Donald Trump gets elected. Thanks for the Gerber files, I ordered 3 boards from OSH Park. I love cartridge projects.

While I share your feelings about Trunp (although Scotland would not be my first choice), please refrain from further politics comments. Thanks.

Good to hear this was of interest. I love cartridge projects too!

I was revisiting this project since I'm writing a DIY Hardware article on cartridges for issue #4 of Excel magazine.

Hi Robin

It may be a little late to ask, but did you use eagle to rework the Gerber files?

I am asking because I am trying make a minor changes on the board wiring. It is useless to import Gerbers to Eagle where import never complete correctly.

Thanks
