I'm investigating getting the Stepper Motor Controller 2.3 produced, but having no experience getting PCBs produced before, I'm a little confused.
In the 2.3 GERBER file directory, there are several files:
ComponentTraces.pho
CopperTraces.pho
SilkScreen.pho
SolderMaskComponent.pho
SolderMaskCopper.pho
stepper-motor-driver.drd
stepper-motor-driver.drl
The PCB manufacturers want more details as to what these files are specifically. Namely, one is looking for:
Top Silkscreen
Top Soldermask
Soldermask (Same both sides)
Top Copper
Inner Copper
Bottom Copper
Bottom Soldermask
Bottom Silkscreen
NC Drill
Drawing/Other
Some of these are easy to identify, but others I'm not sure about.
Does anyone have any ideas about the correct associations between these, this is what makes sense to me:
SilkScreen.pho - Top Silkscreen
SolderMaskComponent.pho -Top soldermask
ComponentTraces.pho - Top Copper
CopperTraces.pho - Bottom Copper
stepper-motor-driver.drd - NC Drill
I feel pretty confident that the board isn't more than 2 layers... am I wrong?
What is SolderMaskCopper.pho ?
thanks
