#kicad accepted #gerber2png build by Fablab Kerala (india) as plugin. Easy way to create machinable images to mill or laser your #PCB #electronics.

for comparison some pictures of #PCB made here in the fablab of @waag with an #xtool F1 Ultra. #fabacademy #electronics

Another improvement in #fabacademy 's #electronics production week appears to be the #xtool UV laser. Along with the F1/F2 Ultra, this one seems capable of producing even more usable (and smaller) PCBs.

#Fabacademy started the #electronics production where students learn howto prototype #PCB 's. Huge progress this year with the addition of the fablib (standard Fab Lab) #Kicad plugin.

And since yesterday, the Gerber2Png plugin for producing machinable PNGs directly from #kicad.

Great talk by Kliment at #39C3 on "#Electronics is easier and more fun to get into than it's ever been before. All the tools and resources are easily accessible and super cheap or free. There's an enormous amount of things to build from and build on."
