Re: gEDA-user: .pcb question

[John Luciani <jluciani@xxxxxxxxx>]

   There is a python script, from the MIT Media Lab, that converts
   Gerber files into a format used by a Roland milling machine.
   The python script is at
   [1]http://web.media.mit.edu/~neilg/fab/dist/cam.py
   I am not sure if the Roland uses NGC or some other format.
   The commands looked a lot plotter control commands to
   me.
   I brought a couple of Gerber files to try routing a board using the
   milling machine. Unfortunately the CAM program they have only
   understands a subset of the Gerber specification, specifically the
   subset that Eagle outputs :(
