CL ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user Hi Karel. I do not have a schematic but I do have the main PCB and the membrane from the keyboard. I don't know if they are good or not but the board appears to be complete. It is from 1983 issue 4A. If you require this or any bits let me know. Only the ULA chip is socketed and I don't think I could remove the other main chips without damage! There are schematics for all the issues but they are scanned printed. I meant *.sch file. I already have basically a ZX Spectrum issue 2 at home since few days, too.

gEDA-user: PCB artwork output
Hi, Having just put together a board using PCB, I have a few queries about its output facilities. The electronics development people here fab using tracing paper and a UV light box, so to achieve maximum quality output, I always mirror the output such that the printed toner is oriented towards the copper of the board, giving a nice crisp exposure outline. PCB's auto-mirror option does the reverse of this, putting the toner away from the copper, and ticking mirror as well as auto-mirror does not reverse the behaviour. The layer identification text automatically output by PCB does not appear to mirror the same way, and the people in charge of PCB production here were of the opinion that the text only confused which way up the layer was supposed to be. They just like us to put some text off-board, on each side which would come out readable on the copper. What is the intended interpretation of the layer identification text? That it be readable as if looking through the board from the component side? If so, perhaps we could annotate it as such? I can't think how best to do that at the moment though. The pcb guy seemed to imply that the automatic text from PCB was not as how other packages would do it. A further feature request.. Is it possible to add a scale function to PCB's output, such that I can make the .ps file say a few 0.1% (can't remember exactly) larger than real size? The tracing paper shrinks as it passes through the laser printer by a known amount, but when you finally print the .pdf (from windows they do it), the scaling options aren't as fine-grained as that.

Re: gEDA-user: PCB artwork output
PCB's auto-mirror option does the reverse of this, putting the toner away from the copper, and ticking mirror as well as auto-mirror does not reverse the behaviour. Should it? I've been thinking it's mirror only the bottoms vs mirror everything but if the common usage is to XOR them, I can change that. What is the intended interpretation of the layer identification text? So you can tell which page is which, that's all. I should move it out of the scale/mirror/rotate code and just place it as a header. It's really up to you to put text on the layers if you need registration tests. Is it possible to add a scale function to PCB's output, such that I can make the .ps file say a few 0.1% (can't remember exactly) larger than real size? The tracing paper shrinks as it passes through the laser printer by a known amount, but when you finally print the .pdf (from windows they do it), the scaling options aren't as fine-grained as that. The HID layer has a hook for this, but I've never added support for it. I just edit the .ps files and put a scale after the initial 4.25 5.5 translate which centers the board. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: Re: Wishes, bugs and misunderstandings (6-10)
This is the first time I've ever compiled from CVS, so I actually checked out the entire set into a totally empty directory. That implies that I have the new libgeda. I'm wondering if there's an old header or file that is a residual on most people's drives, but not checked into the latest CVS snapshot? It did the Make in the directory after changing the prefix to /usr/local/share/geda in the main make file.

I use Suse 10.1 and got the following errors after make. Any hints on what I might be doing wrong? I did a full ./configure, make, make install on libgeda (which worked) before attempting doing the gschem install, which failed.

gEDA-user: gEDA installer
Hello all. Changed machines rather unexpectedly, and the move didn't go well :-( 1) I could still run gschem Co, but I found that selecting a couple of components and hitting er (rotate) twice made it crash. 2) Before complaining, I thought I'd install the last version first, and I thought I'd give the installer a try. I mounted the ISO under a directory, and tried to run /mnt/iso/installer: - Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/local/src/cx_Freeze-3.0.1/initscripts/Console.py, line 26, in ? File /mnt/iso/installer.py, line 194, in ? import gtk File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py, line 33, in ? ImportError: libgobject-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory -- I searched inside installer.exe and the path seems to be hardcoded in the executable as /usr, even though pygtk is installed in /usr/local here. Is there some way around this? John ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
