Hello, I need help. In the oem bs2 manual page 5 a rev b schematic is mentioned. It is a single layer board design in gerber format. I have downloaded the bs2 gerber files but are unable to read them. I read one suggestion on this forum·to download viewmate to read it. I did this but am still unable to read the file. Can anyone help me?

    Viewmate will read these files - but you'll need to use it correctly. Launch Viewmate and select File - Import (NOT File - Open) - Gerber and select the gerber files, Note you'll only want to select the gerber files - some of the files in the .zip archive are not gerber files. The gerber files are .gd1, .gg1, .gpt, .gtl, .gto, .gts

    ok, when I try to open the file I get a bunch of errors. Do I need to unzip the file first? The file I'm working with is called bs2gerber. Is this evan the right file? Igot it from the oem bs2 kit page.

    Yes,you need to unzip the file first before you can import it in Viewmate. I'm not aware of any program that can open a file while it's still zipped.
