Pins are for symbols. You could make a top-level symbol, set source= to the top level schematic, and then place that symbol in its own over-the-top schematic. That's good for simulation, too. Or, you can make component symbols representing pads.

Maybe conformal coating fits your needs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_coating A very common misconception is that Conformal Coating is a Hermetic Seal. It is used a lot in the Coal Mines, and the Electronic Industry in general, to keep the caustic dust etc. off circuit boards. As Conformal Coating is not a hermetic seal, what real happens is the impurities in the water are kept away from the circuit, but the water itself reaches the traces. Since the water is now fairly devoid of contaminates the water acts more like a dielectric insulator. You never notice it in a low impedance digital circuit, but unless debugging is an obsession don't let it get near a RF tuning circuit or a high impedance sensor. For example Analog Devices for their (obsolete?) electrostatic grade OpAmps say to expose to air rather than coat. Conformal Coating has lots of applications, however the application and environment that the product is going to be used in has to be understood when the system is being designed. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: Current git master doesn't build
Hi all, just tried to compile PCB from freshly updated git sources on a current Ubuntu, but it won't let me: : git checkout master : git pull : ./configure --disable-doc ... : make clean ... : make ... make(2): no rule to create target hid/gtk/gui-render-pixmap.c, needed by hid/gtk/gtk_lists.h. Exit. (wording translated from german.) Any clues? Thanks, Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.

gEDA-user: PCB: crash on Find
I compiled PCB from the GL repository a few days ago. It looks great, however, it does crash quite frequently when I use 'F' to find a net's connections - no warnings, nothing when I invoke PCB from the command line. I'd like to help pin down this bug, but I'm stymied by two things: 1) I can't locate the git command to tell you exactly what you have checked out. I know it's been answered in the list before, but I haven't been able to locate it here or on the web. 2) What should my build configuration be to catch the crash?

Now I get
disabling 3D rasterization
segmentation fault
I also got a segmentation fault after building git master earlier today.
I found it was related to some files left over even after running 'make
distclean' and autogen.sh. I removed the file src/parser_l.{c,h},
rebuilt and it worked fine when loading an old layout of mine.
To someone who knows more about how the PCB build is managed:
Should these files be removed during a 'clean' or 'distclean'?

Not usually, on the assumption that the tools needed to reproduce them are not as commonly found on user's workstations. They're supposed to be automatically regenerated if the source (src/parse_y.y) is updated. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
