Very glad to hear that the eagle has been landed, if not yet fully tamed. One reminder, there are two manuals, manual_en.pdf and tutorial-eng.pdf included in the installation. (I just read them with xpdf, both for the search capability, and the ability to set the background to grey, to avoid eyestrain. On-the-fly sizing helps with the latter too. Another pdf reader might offer the same.) Granted, a dead-tree version is better for reading in front of the fire, with coffee and biscuits. (No crumbs in the keyboard.) As Rainer says, once the peculiarities of parts editing are sufficiently mastered, it's fairly easy. I have a library (named "1_mystuff" to put it first in the "Add" pop-up list). It's filled with personal weirdness such as TO220 MOSFETs with the gate pad moved out of line with the source and drain, to allow fatter tracks in¹, as well as some AVR variants not in the distro. Even moving the connections about on a microprocessor schematic symbol can make the whole schematic look better. The ferric chloride disposal saga is very impressive. Nothing done by halves, it seems. :-) Pity about the heated shop footwear. I don't think I'll volunteer to swap Amine & Salicylate & Glutamate intolerance (with associated chronic fatigue) for diabetes. Erik ¹ And one with the gate as an SMD pad, for the same reason. I haven't tried making a board with that one yet. -- I frequently hear "it's not rocket science, is it?". No, but I recently saw a slide of the infamous "O rings" which failed on the Challenger shuttle. Under a layer of frost, you can just read "Do not use in temperatures below 16C". So even rocket science is not rocket science. - User feedback seen on BBC website ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
