Re: [Kicad-developers] Pointers to start contributing

Hey Seth Wow, that was a good summary! I wonder if there's no some way to include some form of this as the TL;DR version of the contribute/developers page [1] on the website. That page is comprehensive but overwhelming. Ben [1]http://kicad-pcb.org/c

Re: [Kicad-developers] 6.0 task proposal

I apologize if this is diverging from the subject too much, but it, at least, has the potential to be pertinent to an architecture underlying this topic. I'm finding more programs emplying the powerful concept of command pallets[1] and find the idea to be very appealing for a program like KiCad.

[Kicad-developers] Windows 5.0 Installer size

Hi, In trying to get KiCad 5 installed in a [locked down] corporate environment we ran into an issue. We came upon a limitation of installer size for our installation management platform and, while it ends up being our issue to own internally, it did bring up a discussion. Is there any interest fo

Re: [Kicad-developers] New symbol table: problems with '/' characters?

Having been working on the digikey-kicad-library lately, there's plenty of MFG PNs with commas, spaces, periods, various slashery, octothorps, parenthesis, semicolons, colons, asterisks, underscores, dollar signs, equal signs, ampersands. It's a pain in the behind to do substitutions. On Fri, Dec

Re: [Kicad-developers] Intel video drivers on linux

I just got the 1080p Precision 5520 at work (the xps15 2017 equivalent) and I'd highly recommend it. The screen is one of the best I've experienced on a laptop. The XPS15 is likely outside your desired budget (around $1500 for a i7Quad/4k/16GB/512GBSSD). The XPS13 can be had occasionally with an i

I haven't looked at exactly what's going on during the conversion, but would it make sense to provide for a special pre-conversion backup file of the schematic when the remapping process happens? On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 3:51 PM, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > On 11/22/2017 4:46 PM, hauptmech wrote: >

Great talk Wayne. If anyone has control of the KiCad youtube channel it be great to see it up there. One comment on the videos, I'm listening on headphones and it's a bit disorienting with this being a stereo recording, but most of the talking coming out of the left channel. It might make sense to
