Re: [Kicad-developers] Install KiCad on non Ubuntu distros - best way?

2013-07-05 Thread Kaspar Bumke
Thanks for these instructions. I am switching to Debian myself and they helped me quickly get KiCAD installed again to look at board I need to solder! However, there are quite a few bad practices in there mainly in using sudo when you don't need to (also, unlike in Ubuntu sudo isn't necessarily in

Hey, some people from Carnegie Melon Uni have reported 1200 crashes that occur with programs from the Debian repos when they run their automated test-suite[1] . There are 3 KiCAD ones if you look at the summary [2]. Ciao, Kaspar [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/06/msg00720.html [2]

It just occurred to me that a case for Python3 can genuinely be made as an Enum type is on it's way into the standard libraries. That should prove to be quite handy when binding C++. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0435/ On 17 May 2013 23:00, Brian Sidebotham wrote: > On 17 May 2013 22:08, Di

I would like to get more involved in KiCad development and testing is an interest I am currently developing. I have just set up a framework to test SooperLooper (an audio live-looping program written in C++) using Python[1]. To do this I made bindings using SWIG and used Python's native unittest m

I am finding it useful to have edge cuts drawings in modules as well. I have just been editing the files with a text-editor to change the layer and haven't encountered any issues. Would be good to (re?) enable selecting the Edge.Cuts layer in the module editor. On 17 December 2012 15:30, Younes M

In the .sch files the lines look like this EESchema Schematic File Version 2 date Tue 11 Dec 2012 20:41:50 GMT and Date "11 dec 2012" I am pretty sure that there are similar ones in the .brd and .lib files and others. They are the ones that get updated everytime the files are saved. >Also, we

2012-12-13 Thread Kaspar Bumke
Hey, I have been using git to version control my KiCad projects. On the whole it works really well. One source of constant annoyance though, is that KiCad will put the time-stamps into files when saving, even if nothing else has changed. It's not just that it makes it harder to see if anything ha

I would just like to chime in as a user that I guess I don't mind whether I launch the "window" where I assign footprints from the main KiCad launcher or from eeSchema. The decoupling between the schematic file and the footprint assignment is quite important to me though. I like being able to have

Hi Milan, Looks like it works nicely. Are you sharing the source? Is it all done in PHP? I am working on a site to share Kicad libraries. It is written in Python using Django. I'll share it soon, when it is in a demo-able state. For the visualization I was thinking about using the new scripting
