version 4.x support files

FSC (Frame PCB Support Card) Design Files

Eagle files - schematic and board files
Schematic in PDF format
Gerber file set - fabrication files
BOM - Bill of Materials and coordinates in comma delimited format
Frame PCB(Bonn) - AKA frame PCB v4.x , These are the Gerber and drill files used for the first fabrication of 60 for the v4.x flex hybrid. The Gerber file format is:
Coordinates: absolute
Format: 2.3
Units: mm
Zero suppression: none
The format for the drill file is:
Coordinates: absolute
Format (accuracy): 3.2 (1/100)
Units: mm
Zero suppression: none
There will be another version soon, but the basic dimensions will remain the same.
The frame PCB dimensions (all in mm):

Eagle DRC file - This file eliminates the DRC (Design Rule Check) errors seen when loading the flex hybrid design files in newer versions of Eagle (v4 +) . If you want to save the DRC file that came with your demo version of Eagle, rename it, then copy this file into your Eagle\DRU directory. You may also need to load this file manually: go to "Tools - DRC" on the menu, then "Load" the copy of 'default.dru' provided here. You will still see DRC errors associated with zero width traces - just ignore these, as they are removed from the final Gerber files. There are also some clearance errors in some of the test structures - these can be ignored, also.
Another common problem when using Eagle with these flex layouts for the first time is that the display colors are less than ideal.
The layers and colors I use for the layout are:

In order to set your colors, go to the menu and select "View" -> "Display/hide layers..." A dialog showing the layers and a color box for each layer will appear. Click on a color box and a dialog for selecting a color appears. If instead you click on a number, you will toggle the display of the corresponding layer on/off.

The most useful commands to understand are "Zoom", "Show" and "Info". Pick one of the latter two commands and then click on a trace to see the net name and highlight that net everywhere on the board. Use "Info" to get more information, such as trace width, part library name, coordinates, etc. These commands also work in the schematic editor.
