The etching of a PCB is often difficult when circuit paths
are thin. Often, only the BMP is available. My
BMP_IN_PCB program prints a PCB from a *. BMP file.
The program allows also a manipulation of circuit paths widths.
Ev. rework with a graphics program may also be necessary
be..
I am attaching an example. By KiCad I have the layout for
a circuit board designed. This layout I have in KiCad (
* scale = 2-fold) than in PDFCreator print PDF file.
I changed in MS Paint.
MS Paint, I saved the picture as a monochrome BMP. So
TempLayout0.bmp is formed.
Next Steps:
1. The start BMP_IN_PCB
2. Loading Data with Dat1
3. BMPprint file TempLayout0
4. Save the result T1
5. Loading Data with DAT2
6. BMPprint the file T1
7. Save result as a T2
8. Loading Data with DAT3
9. BMPprint with the file T2
10. Save the result T3
11. Loading Data with Dat3x
12. BMPprint with the T3 file (possibly with "In BMP file, clear the check box to print layout)
13. T3x save the result as (when in BMP file "active)
