gEDA-user: pcb GL can't render stretched arcs

2011-07-13 Thread Andrew Poelstra
Peter, Not sure if you are aware, but latest pcb with gl enabled does not render stretched arcs properly. For example, a pcb with Arc[18 15 10 15 5 2000 90 90 clearline] will show the arc as a quarter-circle with GL enabled, even though it is actually taller than it is

Hi, electronics gurus - We have an application where we need to passively monitor a digital current loop (no data sending by us), with a data rate of 9600 baud. We already have solutions for tapping into the circuit, but in some of our customers' cases the circuits don't have enough drive
