Open source hardware development

design, fabrication and documentation

Learning the process of developing open-source hardware by designing a collection of basic electronic circuits, then taking them through the process of laying out printed circuit boards, getting them fabricated, and publicly documenting how someone else could build and use them.

Thinking about the CNC mill & the toolchain for it, and problems with the 3D file generation.
  1. Create design in openscad
  2. Export to .stl
  3. Open in HeeksCAD/HeeksCNC, save as g-code (.nc, .ngc, other extensions) for milling
  4. http://www.linuxcnc.org/ (has own linux distro)

... and that .stl to g-code conversion is problematic. This might be worth looking at: http://replicat.org/generators (makebot & others go-to software)
