Re: gEDA-user: Deformed undesired tiny square
Can you see any way to move it in a less unpleasant position? You have to edit the footprint. Old style footprints, you have to edit all the parts of the footprint (the mark is the origin of the footprint's coordinate system). New style, you edit the Mark() entry. Then you have to replace the footprint on the board with a new one. You can either delete it and let gsch2pcb do its thing, or manually load the footprint (load element, or use the library) and shift-click on each old element to replace the old with the new. Lining up the pads might be tricky if you moved the mark in a non-multiple of your grid settings. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

I think that is a gyroscope. Those things connecting the rings are likely resolvers or encoders of some kind.

Re: gEDA-user: A little tribute...
Hi, now that I fell so much in love with gEDA and GnuCap alike - I've created a little tutorial for total beginners about both. I hope you enjoy it. http://johannes-bauer.com/electronics/ This is a really nice tutorial and really useful to those users who want to use gnucap and gEDA. As mentioned before by others, I too would love to see this as part of the gEDA wiki/documentation. First off, would you allow it to live/be replicated on the gEDA site and second, any volunteers to convert it to dokuwiki format?

This summer I had a chance to take a tour of the NSA museum, and they have several, of different configurations. A couple were out in the open for people to type on, so of course I had to encode a few silly things. Rather laborious. They said the standard operating procedure was to have two operators, one typing, the other writing down the cipher text. I can see why. The thing I enjoyed most was the BOMBE that they had on display (non working). A friend of mine who just happens to be a PhD cryptographer tells me that in addition to the BOMBE, cracking was also helped by: 1) A clear text letter never represents itself in cipher text, 2) All military messages were in a rigid format, 3) they usually started with the politically correct Heil Hitler after the fixed date/time/ship/etc preamble, and 4) the operators often chose their dog's name or their girlfriend's name as the code setting word. -dave ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

While on a week-long business trip in that area about two years ago, I had a lot of hotel time to blow, so I wrote an Enigma simulator in C. It was lots of fun because I was able to go to the Museum and verify my results against a real Enigma machine. -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
