Homebrew PCBs

I attempted to make an RFID tag on a PCB by designing the circuit in Eagle,
then running the "Cam Processor" to export in EPS format, which can be read
by Make-the-Cut. Although I wasn't running the knife and rotary tool,
everything else is the same.. No GCode required.

GREAT idea on drilling with a tiny spiral!!

Make-the-Cut is an easy-to-use and full featured vector cutter control
program that works with Silhouette and many other brands, but no longer
with Cricut due to lawsuits by Provocraft.

Here's a blog post I wrote with screenshots.
