A gerber file is simply the format of the file you export the PCB to.
Gerber format is an open ASCII vector format for printed circuit board (PCB) designs.
it is actually used for the production of printed circuits, to trace electrical connections such as tracks, copper layers, solder mask, legend, drill data, etc.
The gerber file contains also information for drilling and milling the PCB.
These files are generated by circuit routing software (I use sprint layout 6) and are sent to PCB builders to be loaded into their machinery software to print PCB.
Typically, all these files are "zipped" into a single archive that is sent to the PCB producer.
The fabricator loads them into a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system to prepare data for each step of the PCB production process.

![LED Volt Meter LM3914 for Tuning Cars - PCB Tutorial
► $2 for 2-Layer PCBs & $7 for 4-Layer PCBs: https://jlcpcb.com
This circuit is able to indicate the charge level of a battery, and is designed for 12V batteries.. each LED represents 1.2V (12V / 10 LEDs).. and during normal operation the first Red LED indicates 8V while the last Green LED indicates 12V. You can make the calibration of the Volt Meter by put 12V on the circuit and turning the trimmer until all the LEDs turn ON. With the special round design of this PCB we can use as Volt-Meter car Tuning!
What is a voltmeter?
A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage of the circuit; digital voltmeters give a numerical display of voltage by use of an analog-to-digital converter. Voltmeters are made in a wide range of styles. Instruments permanently mounted in a panel are used to monitor generators or other fixed apparatus. Portable instruments, usually equipped to also measure current and resistance in the form of a multimeter, are standard test instruments used in electrical and electronics work. Any measurement that can be converted to a voltage can be displayed on a meter that is suitably calibrated; for example, pressure, temperature, flow or level in a chemical process plant.
After trying the excellent service offered by JLCPCB I recommend it, the quality of the PCB is high, customer service is always available and professional, the time of realization is short and the delivery of PCBs is by express courier. JLCPCB is a great place to get hight quality custom circuit boards at an extremely low price, you can buy 5 PCB Boards (Any Color) for 2$ !!!
