Hey folks, First post, just spent the last several days installing software. :) Everything is now working well, but I however do not know how to work anything.
I managed to make a nice little schmatic with gscem. (Fantastic by the way) Created my netlist with gnetlist. Then opened PCB newest version I could get, and put all my components in and labled them the same as gschem. Clicked on autorats nest. Pling I had some rats but not all. The confusion is with the 2n3906 transistors. Gschem has the pins B C E, however it appears that PCB is the same. I can in know way that I try renaiming get them to match with the netlist. More questions are: would gschem2pcb just by pass some of this? I tried but couldn't figure out the proper foot print names, is there a list of these footprint names somewhere? The footprint problem may simply relate to library location, I have no gschemrc file local right now, anyone direct me to a site that could tell me how to set this up to see the footprints that are in PCB. Anyone want to take me on as a project? I can probably get this straight in a few emails and be on my way, but right now its confusing. I think I am at the top of the learning curve loop, upside down and looking in all directions. -thanks, for all you, all do, to maintain and produce such great software, I am consistantly blown away, the deeper I delve, ED
