I have now managed to install EagleCAD 6.6 and load the original Rex.brd in that, then re-save, to make an EagleCAD 6.x xml format .brd file, which is then able to be imported into KiCAD 4.0.7 pcbnew, then saved again finally as a KiCAD 4.0.7 .kicad_pcb file. I then edited the edge cut lines to make it castellated. I haven't figured out how to hide the unwanted silk screen text from OSH Park yet, so the oshpark render is still full of white silkscreen text and lines we don't want. But it's an inch in the right direction at least I think.
This latest version is here (also updated on tandy.wiki/REX so the directions point to a working link to order boards and working links to the source files) https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/5R4KDv8D I've also tossed this kicad version up on github so anyone can start collaborating on hacking it going forward from here. https://github.com/aljex/REX1 On Sun, Apr 29, 2018 at 1:11 AM, Brian White <[email protected]> wrote: > I have uploaded an old version of the BRD file that came from the files > Steven has up on club100 > > https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/05Wk0mj8 > > The latest version had nicer silk screen and pre-castellated edges, but > hopefully this old version is still the same electrical design, and so can > still be used the same. > > Strangely, I was able to place an order for more of the last version even > though it's not visible on the site anywhere.
