Re: gEDA-user: Surface mounted circuits in hobby projects

What I usually do is apply additional solder to the pads to give it some extra thermal mass. Set the temperature of your solder iron at 400-450 degrees Celsius, heat one pad, then quickly proceed to the other, and swipe the resistor/capacitor of its pads. Usually, thanks to the surface tension of t

Here it doesn't start, it really looked like an ideal replacement for gwave, but on my PC (debian testing) it starts with an error message: "java.io.FileNotFoundException /home/dimitri/KJWaveSPICE.properties" When I touched that file and subsequently started KJWaves again, this exception rolled out

Thanks for making me double check John! I just found out that I forgot to assign the layer-groups of the solder-side and the component-side. I feel kind of stupid... :$. (Though the layernames "solder" and "component" kinda suggest that it's already done during the gsch2pcb conversion). That being

Also mention the soldermask clearance around the 1206 elements, a report of the pad shows a correct 3 mil clearance, but thats nowhere near what PCB shows. The old 2007-02-08 snapshot shows the mask correctly though... ___ geda-user mailing list geda-us

gEDA-user: PCB cvs segmentation fault

2007-01-08 Thread Dimitri Princen
Hi All! In the latest CVS co of PCB I experienced segmentation faults when moving polygons to different layers. To reproduce start pcb, draw 2 rectangles, and use 'm' to move them to another layer. The first one gives no trouble, but the second one gives a segfault. This is all done using the gtk
