"Warning: More than one signal layer active!" when running a CAM job on  *.brd file

unebonnevie

Hi,

 

I have a 2-layer (top and bottom layers) *.brd.  Is this the warning I get

when running a CAM job on a 2-layer design?  Thanks

  • Thanks, Sparkfun tutorials didn't say.  Only mentioned the

    sfe-gerb274x.cam file.

     

    Sorry for such noob questions, but my first board and I wanted to make

    sure everything is good.

     

    Thanks.

    I use a modified version of the Sparkfun cam file. I think it generates the

    drill file for you that why they don't mention the extra step in the

    tutorial Also, check your gerbers carefully with a gerber viewer as I seem

    to remember they don't output the component names to the top silk screen

    gerber.(I know something was missing??)

    There is a series of YouTube tutorials containing 12 lessons for Eagle.  Search for Eagle Tutorial (RPC Electronics.

    If I remember right, lesson 12 deals with making Gerber files.

    In the Eagle board window, click "Cam Processor"

    In the new window that pops up, click "File", "Open", "Job"

    Find the CAM file that you want to run and click "Open"..  The file name must have the extension, "cam".

    Click "Process Job"

    One board house requires the following:

    1. Gerber Files Required:

    The following files would be needed for the 2-layers PCB production:

     

    Top layer:pcbname.GTL
    Bottom layer:pcbname.GBL
    Solder Stop Mask top:pcbname.GTS
    Solder Stop Mask Bottom:pcbname.GBS
    Silk Top:pcbname.GTO
    Silk Bottom:pcbname.GBO
    NC Drill:pcbname.TXT
    Mechanical layer :pcbname.GML

     

    Note: The Gerber file must be RS-274x format and board outline must be included at least in one layer;

    Compress the 8 files into one zip file and upload to your board house.
