I don't know! :) But, an RCY100, is a radial lead component, that occupies two adjacent 100 mil holes in a perf. board. Which is _almost_ what I was looking for. I'm doing my best to get my working project off the bread board, and hard wired on perf board. Using as little perf. board as possible. I did get a very good suggestion from the LVLUG list, to use surface mount footprints for stuff you want to conserve space with. I may try that in the future, but at the moment, I want to get this project up and running ASAP! I'm monitoring a coal stoker furnace, which is in the basement, and I'm on the third floor of the building. This circuit eliminates the need for me to run up and down the stairs to check the stoker. I have a thermistor in the chimney, that gives me an indication of whether the stoker is running, idle, or burnt out. I'm familiar with thermostats, and we have one, ONE, for all three floors of the building, and it is on the first floor. So when the folks with control of the thermostat set it to 70f, it is 90f up here. Which leads into why I want my bread board space back. My next project is replacing the old thermostat with a Dallas/Maxim DS1620 chip. Which is a remotely controlled/programmables thermostat/temp. sensor. Then I can control things from here. -- Darryl Gibson N2DIY RLU X 182668/379552 “Arms are the only true badges of liberty.

Not too hard to do it yourself. Bring up PCB, add two vias and some silk, select all, "convert buffer to element" then "save element data to file". Poof, done. Here's a sample I tossed together for you: Element["" "" "" "" 7 9 0 0 0 100 ""] ( Pin[0 0 6800 3000 7400 3800 "" "1" "edge2"] Pin[1 0 6800 3000 7400 3800 "" "2" "edge2"] ElementArc [0 0 5000 5000 0 360 1000] ) ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Hello list, A new subscriber here. I I've been using geda for about twelve hours, and linux for about four years. I've drawn my first schematic, and loaded it into pcb, and 90% of what I want to do is done. But, I would really, really like my resistors, and diodes standing up, not laying down. I've Googled for hours trying to find footprints that would let me do that, with no success. 73 -- Darryl Gibson N2DIY RLU X 182668/379552 ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
