gEDA-user: EDIF: Found some ancient books. Any use to you?

2010-11-12 Thread Dave N6NZ
I discovered a box of books that never got unpacked after the last rearrangement of my home office. Among these, I found several EDIF-related books. Since I long ago stopped giving a rat's rear end about EDIF, I offer them to the group. I'm guessing I could stuff them into a USPS flat-rate

On page 1 of the LPKF brochure (http://www.lpkfusa.com/datasheets/ prototyping/rp_brochure.pdf ), it shows a screenshot of their pcb artwork software. The thick grey traces are used to route the border of the part. I noticed the breaks in the trace in order to create attachment tabs, which you can

Sorry that LPKF stuff is off-topic but I just figured out a way to make tabs on boards that might help someone. There is a button in circuit cam to calculate and draw breakout-tab cutting outlines but it flat-out doesn't work for me so I'm going to talk about the harder way. Draw your

Thanks for the clarification John, and sorry about the munged subject line. I would like to take a stab at Summarizing this if I can, I'm not sure it's completely accurate, so anyone should feel free to make corrections. Different versions of spice use different methods of modeling

gEDA-user: New branch of PCB

2010-11-12 Thread Stephen Ecob
Hello all, I've made a branch of PCB. The intent of the branch is to aid in the debugging and tuning of PCB's autorouter and PCB's trace optimiser. Motivation Having laid out a couple of boards with PCB 20091103 I became aware of some bugs in the autorouter that made the job difficult: 1 The
