Software to generate gerbers from a scan/pic of a physical board?

[hatmoose]

Hi Everyone;

Does anyone know of (preferably free open source) software that I can use to reproduce a PCB from a picture/scan

Super simple use case is the neogeo marquee MV-ELD 1/2 board. Its single sided, nice and square. For one this simple I could probably just do a schematic in Kicad and then draw it out, that's my plan B, but I'd love to know how this is done for slightly more complex boards. Ideally I'd like to reproduce this board as a community project.



I know it CAN be done, Apocalypse has done lots (and they are awesome, if you ever read this, thank you your work is appreciated!). Can anyone point me in the right direction of how it's done please?

Apocalypse actually does do the repros by hand with a meter.

Wow, that is dedication to the cause. OK, well challenge accepted then If Apocalypse can do something amazing like the Golden Ax, revenge of death adder 4P board then surely I can manage something single sided with traces as fat as my finger
