Dear gEDA developers,
I just downloaded the ISO and compiled/installed pcb version 20070208
today and let me say that I am very impressed!
Thanks very much for the automated installer process. You don't know how
nice that was. I use slackware, and, well,
you know slackware needed all of those gr
Thank you all very much for the quick and helpful answers! As I
suspected, it was mostly user error on my part!
All of my questions to date have been answered!
(I was trying to use :DRC() to check for shorts -- but the "o" key does
that, as it should!)
(Once I knew that DRC makes sure that ob

Should I be looking in "AddAllRats()" in rats.c, or ActionAddRats() in
action.c, or elsewhere?
Noting that pressing 'o' could give the message "Congratulations" I
grepped for that word and was lead to rats.c, and AddAllRats()
I'm resending this because I never got back a copy when I sent it and I
can't find it in the archive.(And I haven't received anything else from
the list either). I logged into my mailing list user settings page and
that worked so I must still be subscribed, but maybe my own MTA dropped
the ball

They have a lot of support chips on that board, though. Like the
south bridge, CF controller, PCI bridge, etc. I was thinking more
like "every connector goes directly to an FPGA pin". Maybe one fpga

I was going to ask that very question. The closest I've come to "free"
was xilinx's ISE Impact webpack which of course is only free to use and

That's exactly what I was thinking! I recently outfitted an old XY pen
plotter to work with a little vacuum pump as a pick and place machine
for 0603 parts. It did work pretty well,
s any motion, I'll get interlace
artifacts, which aren't good for machine vision.
So I really like the idea of a usb camera solution.
THanks, though!

Ormund,
If all else fails, and if you can find two documents describing in
simple terms each of the formats, I'd be willing to try making a perl script
to convert for you. But I'm pretty busy, so make sure there's not
already such free solution :-)
Also I would need a source RS274D to test wit

I thought about that, but it's far above my math skills.

Ahh, haha.
In the USA, electronic design engineers have been using inches (with
0603 meaning 0.06 by 0.03 inches) to describe surface mount resistors
and capacitors.
Folks in other countries have probably always been using metric.
But I've noticed that recently digikey.com (a pop
