A project log for Noo-D(l)eus Ex Machina - Freeform PCB design proto

The very first prototype PCB testing the new pcb-rnd->FidoCadJ->pcb-rnd toolchain easing freeform bezier & cubic spline track/PCB creation.

The board was designed with my usual PCB fab, Hackvana, in mind, since Hackvana have specials that apply to 50mm x 50mm, 50mm x 100mm, and 100mm x100mm sizes, or sizes that fit within these dimensions Accordingly, the board fits within 50mm x 100mm.

Hackvana reviewed the gerbers and shceduled the job for manufacture this week. If I'm lucky, I'll have the board within a week, using DHL for freight.

The next step will be blinkenlights and some quick and dirty AtTiny coding.

Until the boards arrive, I think I'll refine the export module in terms of automatic footprint rotation on export, and better default silkscreen widths in the footprints..

The FidoCadJ export module in the layout editor pcb-rnd also deserves some further round trip testing,
