Connects directly to Ksoloti Core’s 6-pin line header and 3-pin headphones header.  
Optional volume control headers.

Board dimensions: 101mm \* 34mm.

Headphone part is detachable: 23mm \* 34mm (leaving the line IO part at 77mm \* 34mm).

Hi I wanna finally make these pcbs. I have never done this before.

on jlc it says add gerber files:

However I can only find csv files:

How can I get the gerber files?

JLC conveniently accepts zipped Gerber files. The file GERBER-xxxx.zip contains all Gerbers they need, you can just drag it in the field.

The field label saying “Gerber file” is a mistranslation (wrongly implying there was only one Gerber file).

Ah thank you, yeah I am really a complete noob with this 🫠

is there anything else I should take care of? these are the default settings that came when I uploaded the zip file.

This seems to happen sometimes regardless of which gerbers you upload, so possibly a bug in their system. Try again another time?

The reason you can’t move on is because the page didn’t autodetect board dimensions. You should see a preview of the board and the dimensions should be set automatically.

ok thanks. I kinda gave up and made a DIY board with good ol’ lochrasterplatine.  
I really hope to get this to work though one day.

Actually there is a Synch Lab group in Berlin that meets up weekly. I think I wanna go there and ask for help with this, as they also order on that website regularly for their DIY builds.
