gEDA-user: alarm clock update

2007-09-08 Thread DJ Delorie
I got the first board populated today. It works! The only ECO so far was to increase the LED resistors for the three power monitor LEDs, they were too bright. http://www.delorie.com/electronics/alarmclock/ Unfortunately, Digikey put the wrong parts in the PIC24's envolope, so I'm short two CPU

I'm glad you're finding gaf useful. I guess it must be tricky to control a CAD package from a speech UI... please do let us know if there are any parts of the interface which could be improved to help. Does TAB order matter to your speech recognition software for navigation? Actually, the mouse op

Ah... I thought it was a brand new checkout but I must have checked out a version long long time ago under my project directory. That's why I had the problem. I deleted that directory and checkout again. It worked. (I feel like an idiot) Andy On 9/8/07, DJ Delorie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >

If you have uncommitted modifications, that means that your *local* tree had them. Check out into an empty directory. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

I followed the instruction on the sourceforge page to check out the latest from CVS. After check out, a lot of files has unresolved conflicts and even modification not commited yet as shown by "cvs -n update". (I don't think this is even possible with CVS. Something must be seriously wrong.) Here

People, I'm having a pretty tough time here. I have a design using a Xilinx Vertex-5 part with over 1100 pins. Other connectors have over 200 pins as well, with 431 lines in the netlist file, and 14 to 16 layers. My system is running Fedora-7, and the latest gEDA release (I think). Specifically
