gEDA-user: Need help finding Conexant CX25874-24 (TV chip)

2010-03-23 Thread Timothy Normand Miller
We've got OGD1 boards at the assembly house, and we've run into a supply problem. The Conexant CX25874-24, the TV output chip we selected, has reached end-of-life, and we're having trouble finding a broker who will supply them at a reasonable price. For instance, one broker we contacted hasn't

I'm having an issue exporting my board from PCB as a gerber. Please take a look at this screenshot: http://flickr.com/gp/oskay/L98vvn The pads look normal-- square to the page --in PCB, but are rotated strangely when I export as gerber. The footprint, as it appears in my PCB document is:

Looks like a fundamental design issue. We use the X layer to draw lines, which includes pads, but with the tiny offsets in the x,y points, we end up passing two points to the X layer that have the same coordinates, so it draws a zero-angle line. If you zoom in far enough, eventually rotates the
