Go for it! I think your idea is really neat. I'm a hard core Ruby
programmer and have had similar experiences - you can say a lot in a
little bit of space, the code is very readable, and coding goes
quickly. I can think of some other useful applications for a Ruby
version of gschem. A smal
My guess is that there is something different about the
designs/applications which are experiencing the lockups/malfunctions -
too many products use the FTDI USB to UART parts successfully. Among
many others are the Arduino Decimila and (Digi) XBEE daughter boards.

I built a very similar circuit using an Altera FPGA and a 100MHz SDRAM
with good results. To keep things easy, I did a couple of things. One,
I kept the signals to the SDRAM as short as possible (around an inch
long, in most cases). Second, I made sure that the clock that the SDRAM

Looks like the silkscreen on the diodes is going over the pad/holes.
The paint may interfere with the solder flow during assembly. Best to
keep the silkscreen off the pads.

very well for me (I used it to swap out a few hundred parts with about

If you are still looking, I could build you a footprint pretty quickly.
If you sent me an illustration/pdf of the manufacturer's recommended

called "footprints".
With the new macros, you can generate pcb common footprints with only a
few lines of text. Still, they are flexible enough to handle most
common footprints, and you can add and tweak them by modifying
footprints.lander or your footprint scripts.

Recently, I built a board using lots of custom surface mount parts, as

generate the footprints, I needed to design a number of new footprints.

You might want to take a look at Perl as well. It's been around the
