gEDA-user: powermeter board, with less ground planes :-)

2008-10-30 Thread DJ Delorie
http://www.delorie.com/electronics/powermeter/ I merged the three ground planes into one, and draw AVdd from DVdd for each chip, with a 10R/10uF power filter. There's still a big hole in the ground "plane" where the Vdd plane goes, as well as all the digital signals to each chip. There's a bunc

No the first attempt was a cut and paste that didn't bring the url with it though an html filter would have removed it. The second and third attempts I was responding only too myself. Good thing too as I was getting frustrated with how my email tool automatically breaks lines into pieces. And the u

Hi guys, I've noticed I could set on gschem's the `value' attribute for each symbol which could be then shown on the final layout, which I find so nice and I prefer over the default scheme. Is there anyway I can control it's text's size once on pcb? I have tried changing the `text scale' optio
