Gerber Generation From DXF Files
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
I already have complete schematics and detailed DXF drawings for two very small boards and now need clean, fabrication-ready Gerber packages.
Board #1 – DS1820 Temperature Probe
• Shape: 30 mm circular disk, FR-4 0.3–0.4 mm thick
• Device: DS1820 in SMT, centred exactly on the disk
• Pads: two wire-solder pads placed off-centre
Board #2 – Water Detection Sensor
• Bottom layer: alternating “+” and “–” copper stripes that will sit in direct contact with water
• Top layer: LM393 plus a handful of passives to give a binary output compatible with a Raspberry Pi GPIO
• Outline and tracks in the provided DXF
What I will give you
• DXF files containing the mechanical outlines, pad locations and layer notes
• The finished schematics for both boards, also in DXF
• Any additional component data you may need (datasheets, footprints, etc.)
What I expect back
1. Complete Gerber set and drill files for each board, ready to drop into JLCPCB / PCBWay without modification
2. Source file from the tool of your choice (KiCad, Altium, Eagle—whichever you are fastest in) so I can tweak things later
3. A quick screenshot or PDF plot of each layer so I can visually confirm before ordering
Both designs are simple two-layer jobs; no controlled impedance or exotic stacking is required, only attention to the very thin board on the temperature probe. If anything in the DXF needs adjusting for manufacturability, flag it first and I will approve before you proceed.
