   Hello everybody!

In order to complete a project I am working on I need to take what is all
breadboarded up and turn it into a PiCrust (tm,R etc. :) ;) ) Thats what I call
 boards that have 40 GPIO connector to plug onto the Pi itself.

Now what I need to is come up with a means to get all this stuff on my lab desk
 and breadboards into the stuff that Advanced PCB http://www.4pcb.com/ needs to
 create the PCB, populate it, its mostly blank, there is module that needs to
have 2 rows of pins to plug it in, these come from another supplier prefab'd.
The board is just wires into the GPIO connectors for 5V, I2S etc...

So what I am looking for is SOFTWARE etc. to do this.

NOTE: I use ONLY, ABSOLUTELY ONLY LINUX, period. I do not use, do not have
access to any non Linux systems. My work and personal systems are LINUX ONLY.
It can run on a PI2/3 or it can run on KUbuntu 12.04, or 14.04 preferred, but
16.04 if I have to... I don't do WINE, I don't do VM's of non *Nix/BSD, so none
 of that is an option. I don't care if the software is open source. So long as
it is EITHER FREE or VERY CHEAP!

So with the above understanding...

With this in mind what software etc. do I need to go from my hand sribbles and
the breadboard mess to finished board, I plug into the Pi's, and stuff the
other board into it, and go..

I am using Advanced PCB as an example, any other similar firms with US
OPERATIONS, is fine.

Thanks.


Rick
