gEDA-user: more insanity

http://www.delorie.com/pcb/smd-challenge/insanity_II.jpg I kinda mangled the pads a little, but it won't matter - I can still solder them. The parts are 3x 0.5mm pitch CSP, some 0201 discretes, and an 0402 LED. The big pins are 0.1" apart. Mostly 6/6 rules (some 5 mil traces), with 13 mil hole

A couple of suggestions on my experience: - add 'gafrc' and 'gschemrc' to the terminology section. I am still learning the extent of their functionalities and a short description would be nice, as well as a reference to a more complete guide to syntax and functionality. (I've seen some exampl

Aha! That looks like what I want, thank you. I have seen this page, but I didn't read past the first screen since I didn't have a design that I was ready to sent to PCB with gsch2pcb. Also, "It assumes the gEDA, PCB and gsch2pcb packages are already installed and ready to use" - and I didn't

Thanks for your help - but I still can't figure out how to load my own sym files or symbol library. I haven't been able to find a start-up procedure for gEDA - perhaps I missed it. At this point, I think I'd better start a new thread... DJ Delorie wrote: Read ~/.gEDA/gschemrc file [/home/Et

Thank you very much for the documentation. I'm following it right now, though I'm still having problems with gEDA not finding my gafrc and gschemrc files, both of which are in ~/.gEDA: -- Read ~/.gEDA/gschemrc file [/home/Ethan/.gEDA/gschemrc] Did not find optional local gschemrc file [/hom

I've started the second "first" board in the Getting Started manual. So far, it only goes through creating the schematic and symbols (no details on those), a footprint, and the hooks you need to tie them all together. No board work yet. This board will cover the gschem integration, custom footpr
