It will all be done under the plot menu. Kicad outputs as gerber files normally, so you will need the copper and component track layouts. You might need the drill files depending if you want to get the mill to do the driling as well.
The main issus is that you will prob. have to perform some form of conversion between the gerber files and whatever file format your CNC software uses. You might do better to do a few searches on that to see what other users of your CNC software have done. There are a few mechanical issues that you will need to address, such as how flat the table is, can you hold the board down to the table so that it is flat. Then there are the engraving cutters that you can choose. (hence the suggestion to find a few others who have done this with your setup, saves a lot of head-scratching) Andy On Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:20:09 -0000 "josh_eeg" <[email protected]> wrote: > settings to get gcode to control a cnc mill to cut a PCB from Kicad. > > Hi can anyone tell me the full page of what to click and not to click to mill > a PCB in kicad?
