Thanks for the Cygwin suggestion. I'm an EE by degree, but mostly a programmer by trade, and I've played with Linux a little bit; in fact I have a Ubuntu machine at home running [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I don't think it has enough RAM to handle a gEDA installation, and I have a LOT to learn about

Hello, I used to run the last gEDA release on my Pentium II with 64MB of RAM. I compiled from scratch. If you can run [EMAIL PROTECTED] gEDA should work. The problem(s) you might have as a newbie are all dependency related. At least that was what bothered me. -- http://www.coe.neu.edu/~efoss/

People, I just created a 4-slot symbol and associated 1153 pin footprint for a Xilinx element that I need to route. This morning I set out to test these elements to see if they worked together OK. Well - I created a dummy schematic composed of the 4 slot elements, and connected the power and

gEDA-user: gattrib for symbols?

2007-02-21 Thread Stephen Williams
Can I use gattrib to edit the attributes of a symbol? I have some largish symbols that I'm incrementally working on, and editing attributes such as pintype and pinseq are a burden. (Meaning I see no way to do it within gschem.) But when I try to load a symbol file into gattrib I get a SEGV:

on this picture, for example: http://www.delorie.com/pcb/brass/20070221-60-top.jpg You'll see that a pinhole in the toner results in an etched cone about 10 mil in diameter on the toner side. What I need to do is try to second-guess the over-etching and figure out the right ps-bloat setting so

You have to control the access of the etchant to the metal. Maybe a dithered fuzz of toner around the edge of the hole would allow the center more access to etchant so you could go through before exposing as much edge. Eventually the isolated dots would just fall off as the surrounding
