gEDA-user: Bug in PCB's Gerber generation?

2011-06-16 Thread Gabriel Paubert
Hi Andrew, I just pulled PCB from git head and I have trouble with arcs in Gerber output. I strongly suspect the latest commit: layers which do not have arcs appear fine in gerbv, but automatic zooming layers which contain arcs zoom out and give coordinates in the range of several meters

Re: gEDA-user: OT: help needed; asymmetric load after rectifier seems to disrupt its working.

2011-06-16 Thread DJ Delorie
When you put two capacitors in series, there's no way to know what the voltage between them will be. You have three with a common central connection Vx. V1 acts to charge the node, the loads act to discharge it, so an unequal load means unequal discharging and thus nonzero average node voltage.

I just launched gschem for the first time so go easy I am duplicating a schematic just for practice I selected inductor-1.sym from Basic Devices and noticed it has no footprint Where do I find the footprint to add to this device Richard ___

Where do I find the footprint to add to this device First, pick an inductor, like from digikey or mouser. Then see if PCB has a matching footprint for it, else create your own. Inductors come in a LOT of package shapes and sizes. ___ geda-user

Thanks DJ, I had the same thought that Vx was floating somewhere unwanted, that's why I added the resistor (which didn't work). Gazing at this problem for a couple of days make me miss the obvious, just split the filter. Brilliant. I'll give it a try. Robert. On 16/06/11 20:48, DJ Delorie

I could implement a save-symbol-as capability. Can anyone familiar with gschem code outline a 'right' way to this? Should I add another option to Hierarchy down modified symbol and change the other to down original symbol? Or would it be better to add a 'save symbol as'

The plan is to add a 'Save symbol instance as...' to the right-click menu. It will open the file chooser in the directory of the original symbol and load file name from device attribute. Saving a schematic uses f_save in libgeda, I am adding a f_save_symbol. First I loop
