Welcome to Cream to G-Code.

This program will convert your gerber aperture files (cream layer) to gcode suitable paste dispensing with EMC2. It uses two points to align the g-code to the real world PCB locations then and creates a file unique for that run. It can also do multiple boards in one run.

How to use it:

-Export the cream(solder mask layer) from your layout editor to Gerber R274-X format. In Eagle Cad it's layer 31(tCream).
-Open the file in C2G.
-Place the PCB in the paste dispenser.
-Manually jog the machine to Point A and B, and enter the coordinates into C2G.
-Click 'Convert and Add'
-Adjust up and down positions
-Click 'Save G-code'
-Open the g-code in EMC2 and run!

Source(QT) and executables(win32 and hopefully linux) will be available as soon as I have corrected some calibration errors.
