The ultimate VGA to SCART adapter
buttersoft:
Hey gambaman, i'm thinking of giving this a go, or at least planning to, but the stencil file for boring the VGA h9ousing is not recognised by any of the fabs i normally use. It needs an outline. Any chance you could update it to have one? Or suggest an alternate method or something?

It is because of the oval holes, right? I had problems with that. You have several alternatives:
-You can order the PCB at https://jlcpcb.com/. I ordered them there.
-I can change the footprint if you want.
-You can download the KiCad files from https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/1656347086485056/KiCad_ultimateVGA2SCART.zip and change the footprint.
-There is a guy who was selling DIY kits with all the componentes, including PCB and preprogramed PIC. You can e-mail him at rgbux666@gmail.com with the subject "ultimate vga". I don't know if he is still selling them, anyway.
Please, tell me your impressions.

I should have been clearer. The main circuit board itself is fine. It's the second dummy PCB to help cut the housing. If you put that into JLCPCB or OSHpark it fails. This is the "ayuda_corte_carcasa-job.gbrjob" file. I cannot dump that directly onto JLCPCB, and if i archive it into a .zip file, it fails to find an outline. I cannot get the raw file to show up in a gerber viewer either, i cannot see it's size and shape at all using that file.
Is there anything i should be doing? I'd love to be able to order the Dummy PCB as well!

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought the problem was the "real" PCB. In the .zip file I linked you will find a KiCad file called "ayuda_corte_carcasa.pro". Can you use it to generate your own gerber file?

Hah, no i don't think so. I'm only using EasyEDA online PCB designer, i do not have kicad or anything else :(
