Re: gEDA-user: gschem command line printing
Hello Chris, That's sounds great. Maybe i can help you, i wrote a script to export pdfs and handbooks for geda/pcb projects. I Attach you the script. I use Fedora Core 14 with the standart geda-gaf rpms. And it works perfectly. you need ghostscript a project file and the createPCB.sh script example project: - schematics schem1.sch schem2.sch output-name masterboard elements-dir ~/gaf/pcb-elements/using - change the path in the createPCB.sh for the print.scm to your needs. createPCB.sh Description: Binary data run the script ./createPCB.sh pdf and you get an pdf with all outputs. that you can esaylie share or print. hopefully i could help you, just write me if you have any questions. best regards Michael On Jul 12, 2011, at 8:11 AM, CoBra wrote: Hi everybody I'm working on a pretty big project which is essentially a Spectrum compatible computer, which will be published as open source when I finish it.

From gschem I can print either color or b/w with no problem at all, I use customized gschemrc files in each project folder and it's great, the only annoying thing is the command line printing not working.

Hello List, I have an question about the vias in pcb. If i would make an area of vias for breakout stuff, and i want to keep the solder mask away from this vias.

gEDA-user: PCB Assembly process
Hello all, I have an question for PCB board assembly company's in Europe. At the moment i work together with PCB pool i generate with the pcb program gerber files and submit it via web and a few day's later i got my PCB :) works very nice. Very cool stuff thanx's a lot for this wonderful and genius software. At the moment i plan to do a produce of 400 PCB's. And let the machines the assembly part. at the moment PCB pool supports only EAGLE or TARGET files for automatic assembly machines. Is there an tutorial which information need an assembly company for part's placement ? Or is there an list of assembly company's that can do this with geda PCB ? best regards Michael -- [] this Email is made of 100% Recyclable elektrons [] url : www.smog.at [] mailto : michael.the...@smog.at [] key: www.smog.at/key ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

My favorite company is SRM printtechnik GmbH in Berlin. They do both, produce boards and populate them. Reasonable pricing, too. I never tried their board service, though. Give them a call.

F is the key for viewing all the copper pins/pads that are on the same net. Occassionally it seems people get stumped (like myself) by little bits of copper traces hiding under pads. It's helpful ... in this case, or as a matter of routine, to turn-off the pins and pads and look for short pieces of copper that don't go anywhere.
