Shall we put a call out on the various lists for people who may wish to volunteer to work on ideas? Yes probably. I can try to have a look tomorrow, i no one beats me to it. In the future I am more inclined to make some gallery or something and not nessesarely have only one. But I would also like to get a new site based on some static site generator, with the restriction that is should read asciidoc, easily, such that we can embed the docs in a nice way. Or at least that is my idea. I have no special objection to the coldfire demo board which has featured on the page for so long, but the 2011 Nov date in the screenshot suggests that there has been no development for a long time. If nothing else we should repeat the screenshot with a current release, but my preferred action would be to feature an Open Hardware design (with the permission of the creators of course). With the various changes to 3D file format support especially in the past year I should be able to use SolidWorks to help create any necessary models to make the featured board look good. There are many cool looking open hardware designs made with KiCad out there. Many of the screenshots on the current page have also been outdated for some time; for example the 3D views are from an era where the board and many other features have not been rendered.

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Fix sloppy polygon tracing for board outline (RESUBMIT)
Le 21/06/2015 14:13, Marco Hess a écrit : Attached a patch with a fix for the 'sloppy' board outline tracing that was used in pcbnew/specctra_export.cpp I submitted a similar patch earlier but that has not been merged yet. That previous patch may also have been a bit more messy and in some spots even violated the coding rules. So with this patch consider the previous similar patch NULL and void. I also revisited this code in light of the recent DXF closed polygon fix. The existing code in specctra_export for the outline tracing had a few problems when the segment size became quite small and selecting between the begin and end of a next segment. In some case the 0.01 limit used was also too small. The updated algorithm explicitlty chooses the closest end of a new segment to be appended. It also only terminates the path tracing when there really are no more segments available within the 0.05 mm limit distance. The previous code was testing to close the polygon before it checking to see if there were more close segments and hence could prematurely exit the path tracing which would leave some segments dangling. I hope this can still be considered for the upcoming 'stable' release. Cheers, Marco Sorry for the delay. I committed it.

For example one of my reports shows all URL references to supplier website links that I then can easily click on to get to the supplier website for that part. For the HTML icon I used an existing lightbulb icon as I have not been able to find an otherwise suitable HTML icon. I copied it into its own html icon files, so it can be updated easily if need be.

Oh, and another thing, which I have been trying to reproduce so I can do a proper bug report, is this. In GAL mode, I have managed to select parts of a footprint and move them.

Re: [Kicad-developers] official web page
I can update it in a moment, but I actually like the current setup, where you can see the same board in those different apps. Can you create those with the hack RF also?

The other screenshots could be updated too, they look ancient.

Re: [Kicad-developers] OS X issues...
What rev are you testing this against? Orson did some more fixes to that in 5814, so please that that or after. 2015-06-24 21:02 GMT+02:00 Andy Peters de...@latke.net: On Jun 24, 2015, at 11:44 AM, Garth Corral gcor...@abode.com wrote: +kicad-developers Hoping you meant for this to go to the list.

Garth No, it shouldn’t be — after running DRC, it’s necessary to have the list of DRC complaints remain open, while also allowing the user to go and inspect/fix all of the errors. It doesn’t make sense to have to close the dialog before fixing an error. Fair enough. Though it would be nice if one could simply navigate through the markers (if they were produced for all violations) on the board without need for the list. With some way to produce the text there, perhaps a tooltip or somesuch. Unfortunately, as hinted at in the bug filed, the underlying issue here is likely yet another case of OS X being the red-headed stepchild in wxWidgets. In this case it can probably be worked around in KiCad. I think the issue that Bernhard is looking at is another case of an OS X specific wxWidgets issue, but in that case I don’t have much confidence it can addressed in KiCad. I hope I’m wrong. Along the lines of OS X-specific wxWidgets issues, and I should check the bug-tracker to see if this has been reported or not, but the rats-nest is still not working in GAL mode. When you move a part, the rats-nest doesn’t get redrawn properly. It uses old pad locations. Refreshing or changing to default canvas and back again updates the rats nest. Oh, and another thing, which I have been trying to reproduce so I can do a proper bug report, is this. In GAL mode, I have managed to select parts of a footprint and move them. In other words, the pads move, but the center of the footprint remains at its old location. I will do more futzing around so I can come up with a recipe for this weirdness. -a ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
