Import .PrjPcb files to CircuitMaker

Hi,

I'm using CircuitMaker and I tried to import NRF52 reference implementations .PrjPcb files. Unfortunately CircutMaker does not support Altium PCB 6.0 files yet, but supports 5.0. I'm wondering if it's possible to post NRF52 reference implementations files but converted to Altium PCB 5.0 format. I'm also interested in NRF52832 QFAA reference layout files.

Below is the link with issue I have and possible solution. www.element14.com/.../i-try-to-import-altium-pcb-50-into-circuit-studio-but-i-have-the-message-xxxpcbdoc-has-invalid-format-why

Thanks you, Piotr

  • Hi Piotr.

    Could you test this file;
    Altium 5.0
    and see if it works, and that it is what you are working for.

    Let me know if you need something else, and I'll do what I can to help out.

    Best regards,
    Joakim.

  • Hi Joakim,

    Thank you for your help but I cannot download attachment. I see only blank page in my web browser. I tried using firefox chrome and IE.

    Any idea what might be wrong.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Piotr. 

    I don't know why you can't download the attachment. It works fine for me, and I also tested on one of my colleagues computer to make sure. 
    Maybe your are blocked by a firewall or something similar?

    I'll try to upload the file again, and we'll see if that could help.

  • Hi Joakim,

    I can download attachment now. I am able to import .PcbDoc file to CircuitMaker.

    I'm looking for nRF52 pcb designs with rf antenna.I have my nRF52-DK board and for development purposes it's all I need. Unfortunatelly my final solution should be similar to nRF51 dongle but for nRF52.

    Maybe I could use antenna design from nRF51 dongle with nRF52832 module. Will it work?

    Thanks,

    Piotr

  • Hi Piotr.

    I'm glad you were able to import it to CircuitMaker.

    As for a PCB design with rf antenna, I'm afraid we don't any. All the PCB designs are without the antenna.

    However, you should be able to reuse the antenna design from the nRF51 dongle. There is no reason that it shouldn't work with the nRF52832.

    Let me know if you need anything else.

    Cheers,
    Joakim.
