Eagle/Gerber Help needed
January 16, 2010 04:48AM
I want to get some of the boards made up by a pcb house, but there is obviously q setup charge for each board. The opto endstop boards are so small it's hardly not worth getting them made unless I order like 200. So, I was thinking of putting them on one board together with a stepper controller board and getting them made together under one setup cost.

My idea, to reduce total area, is to put 3 opto endstop V2.1 boards next to a stepper V2.3 board, but I'm no eagle/gerber genius and I can't figure it out. Is there anyone who has already done this or who is willing to help me out here? smiling smiley

Thanks for any input. I've attached a jpg to show you what I mean.

I looked at this type of solution to cut costs of small run PCB designs.

However on reading the PCB houses conditions you will find they all seem to have this DIY cost cutting option coverd in some way or other in their terms.

By saying that the pricing structure they have will not cover the prodction of boards designed to be seperated later or some variation of that.
