I have an ACAD drawing that I would like to get converted to Gerber files for a PCB. It is a simple board with just two circular traces on each side with plated through holes.

"Howard: APM 2.5 is the next hardware board. Software all goes by the vehicle type: ArduCopter, ArduPlane, ArduRover, etc."
Howard Steelman replied to Howard Steelman's discussion APM2 Remote Compass"Hi Chris,

Howard Steelman replied to Howard Steelman's discussion APM2 Remote Compass"Thanks Chris,
Looking forward to putting it on my new Hexa. I am planning on the "Better" remote GPS and the remote compass. With thes two remote pieces connected could a sonar be connected to, and if it can, can it be turned off and…"
