Good morning!? I’m using KICAD 5.1.9 on Windows 10. I’m using OSHPARK for the PWB’s.? I have completed a design, but don’t know what file(s) to send them.? Also, what is the difference between ARCHIVE and ZIP?

Thank you for any help,?? Jeff? (I may need a lot more help!)

Hi


About what files to send, ususally the gerber and drill files.

For details look in

Archive or ZIP is almost the same. By archive we mean a set of files compacted in a single one, ZIP is the most known and popular archive format.

Best regards

Jorge

There is a specific page on OSHPARK for kicad:



Usually what you upload will be automatically checked and you can use
the viewer on the site to see if the result looks OK. I've never used
OSH, only JCL but the method is just about the same from the page above.

A zip file is one of many forms of archive file.

tar, tar.gz , lha , arc (I think the origional) and there are many
others.

zip is probably the most common format so use that.
