Re: gEDA-user: gEDA Symbols
How can I create gEDA symbols for unsupported parts ?? U, you draw them using the symbol editor? Usually, I start with a symbol similar to the one I want. I place it on the schematic, select it, do right mouse - down symbol, and this places me in a mode where I can edit the symbol. Make sure to turn on all invisible attributes. Then edit away. Use pinout info from the part's datasheet. Stuart ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Re: gEDA-user: gEDA Symbols
Hello all, Thanks to everybody... I'll start creating symbols for gEDA. I want to use some ATMEL processors in my designs and I didn't see them in gEDA's symbol database. As soon as I get them done, I'll send them to be added in the symbol database. Thanks a lot guys. BTW, does anybody here know where are the code portion that reads the .sym files and shows the symbol itself ? I'm wondering to develop something in this area, maybe some XML-like file and a symbol creation program.. What do you guys think about it ?

I have a sym2eps tool here: http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/dj_delorie/ There's a djboxsym there too, which is a symbol creation helper. I'm wondering to develop something in this area, maybe some XML-like file and a symbol creation program.. What do you guys think about it ? First, there's a bunch of existing symbol-maker helpers out there, so make sure you're not doing something that's already been done. Second, if it hasn't been done, don't let all those other helpers stop you from making another one. It seems to be a competition to see how many different helpers we can come up with :-) ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

By the way, I'd recommend that new boxsym hackers take a look at bjjboxsym. I tried to generalize the internals a bit. You can do things like draw symbol objects in transformed coordinate spaces. The idea was to be able to plug in layout classes that would do whatever you want. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ben.com/ ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
Re: gEDA-user: gEDA Symbols
I'll echo DJ's comment: First take a look around to see what's already out there w.r.t. symbol creation utilties. You may be able to use or modify one of them instead of writing your own. BTW, does anybody here know where are the code portion that reads the .sym files and shows the symbol itself ? Both .sym and .sch files are read by functions in the libgeda/src directory. In particular, look at f_read.c and at a_basic.c:o_read(). Stuart On Tue, 6 Mar 2007, Felipe Balbi wrote: Hello all, Thanks to everybody... I'll start creating symbols for gEDA.

Re: gEDA-user: gEDA Symbols
Hello Dj, http://www.gedasymbols.org/scripts/search.cgi?key=atmel there's already lots of ATMEL chips there... I'll modify one of them to add my AT91SAM9261 and send to geda-symbol maintainers. BTW, does anybody here know where are the code portion that reads the .sym files and shows the symbol itself ?

Second, if it hasn't been done, don't let all those other helpers stop you from making another one. It seems to be a competition to see how many different helpers we can come up with :-) Actually I was thinking about gschem source code itself... where is the code that it parses the .sym files... where is the .sym language defined... Maybe an XML-like file would be a lot easier to understand. And, also, a lot easier to write part generators. I'll check that on geda-dev list. ;-) -- Best Regards, Felipe Balbi [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
