Hi guys, I was just filing some things into my "gEDA_screenshots" directory, and came across some .ogg screencasts which haven't really seen the light of day. I made these rehearsing a screencast demonstration for an undergraduate robot design course. I never did the real, mistake-free screen-cast, but I thought I'd link these here anyway.
They show off xgsch2pcb for those who've never seen it, show off basic gEDA usage, (and watching them back), various basic gEDA mistakes, and workflow inefficiencies. (And I'm a gEDA developer, so looking at myself making those mistakes is painful!). DJ, perhaps you'll note how bad an idea it is for xgsch2pcb to drop components into the top corner of the schematic! http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/xgsch2pcb_demo.ogg ( 8M) http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/xgsch2pcb_idp_demo.ogg (11M) http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/xgsch2pcb_idp_demo2.ogg (26M) Perhaps watching people working like this, and making real mistakes gives clues to where the workflow is non-intuitive, or fragile.
