 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.
