Gerber files not opening #1

Open fedekrum opened 2 years ago

fedekrum commented 2 years ago

Hi Thanks, great idea. But is not working to me. Did you try to open any Gerber file produced by Fritzing? They do not open. They do open on windows version.

Hi,

Sorry for the slow reply, work is flat out.

I personally haven't tested it with gerbers produced by Fritzing, only with gerbers generated by KiCad 5 (at the time when I last worked on this container).

I will have a look at it though, I suspect flatcam in the container image is out of date which I can fix.

A couple of questions to help me troubleshoot:

What version of flatcam are you using in windows?
Did you pull the docker container from dockerhub or did you build it from the Dockerfile?

Thanks for the report! Cheers, Max

Hi !!

1) I am on a Mac, so I made the same ubuntu vnc container you made and then run the latest windows version over WINE. That opened the files with no problem. (although it is too much processing power for a simple task) 2) pulled !!!

Best regards

Ok thanks

I have had a play with fritzing, when you get the manufacturing outputs are they SVG?

Looking at the flatcam repo it looks like there is a new version (a few months newer than the one the docker file is currently using) so I will have a play sometime next week and will post back when I get some progress.

Hi @mbainrot. Any progres on this?

Appologies for the glacial reply, things are super busy for me at the moment.

I did manage to have a look and try to rebuild the container but the upstream container builds are failing due to a broken dependancy with google chrome.

To be really honest, I don't really have the time to put the effort into building my own base vnc container, especially with getting around the mac issue I ran into whereby the proof of concept I made needed to be run as a priviledged container in order to get around weird issues, the fcwu container seems to not need that.

Maybe in future if/when I have more time I may be able to revisit. I will leave this issue open so when I have time I don't forget about it.

Sorry for not being able to really help much further
