Now the idea is to put those 2 circuits on the same PCB and make it. I'm not a pro with PCB design as this one is my really first one. | Now the idea is to put those 2 circuits on the same PCB and make it. I'm not a pro with PCB design as this one is my really first one. | ||

+ | I use [[http://kicad-pcb.org/|Kicad]] for the design, which is free and after 2 or 3 hours looking at tutorials on Youtube, is not too difficult to use. | ||

+ | ===== Engraving ===== | ||
+ | The next step is to engrave the copper board. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For this, we need a GCODE to feed the CNC router. I've used [[http://flatcam.org/|FlatCam]], which is really easy to use. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In fact, you can export the PCB design in Gerber file format in Kicad and then import it in Flatcam, configure your tool and you'll have a good GCODE to process. | ||
