Using HP GL/2 - direct printing etc.

2001-12-19 by caveteursus

I posted quite a few pages, there's more to do, but you will get the 
idea.  It's on www.tech-diy.com

you can play around with the codes, create a "*.txt" file and send it 
with the following commands:

mode com1:9600,n,8,1,p
copy myfile.txt com1

I use WordPad instead of NotePad, as WordPad has "find and replace".

I've taken apart some of the Gerber files generated by Ultiboard -- 
they can be quite simplified -- the most annoying and time consuming 
is the AA -- arc absolute -- in Ultiboard a 1% angle is specified -- 
this can and should be changed using "find and replace" in Wordpad.
