gEDA-user: Stack overflows in gnetlist: help needed!

Hi folks, I'm working on improving gnetlist backend performance. I've committed some changes today which fixes a stack overflow in the bom2 backend. However, I'd really appreciate reports of any stack overflow problems in the real world. If you've had to increase your Guile stack depth in

gEDA-user: pcb: increase gerber resolution

2008-12-20 Thread DJ Delorie
I've checked in a patch to increase the resolution pcb uses for gerbers from 0.1mil to 0.01 mil. Resolution for drills remains at 0.1mil. Yes, it's probably pointless to do this, but at least pcb's DRC and any gerber-level DRC will be working with the same data.

If it were me, I'd just use round holes with sizes calculated from the tab sizes. It might be a bit of guesswork, though, as they don't list the tab thickness on the spec sheet. But that's because I don't have a drill that makes rectangular holes.

Re: gEDA-user: oval holes?

2008-12-20 Thread Darrell Harmon
I don't think pcb supports using plated slots on a footprint. You may be able to get away with round holes. If plated slots are absolutely required, they could be drawn on another layer. You would have to let the board house know that that layer is to be plated cutouts rather than another layer of
