I don't want to start a discussion on this C# style and coding standards here. I still think we should not get too deep into that discussion here. Just this: Having programmed and still programming in many common and uncommon languages (Cobol!, RPG, dBase III/IV, Clipper, FoxPro, Fortran, PL/1, Sma...

I'm also working on migrating all the cad stuff into classes that are used as datasources for the grids rather than keeping all the data as text strings in grids - it greatly simplifies most all the code and removes the need to try to reparse text so many times. If you are doing this why not go a s...

Ignore List (if any) of coarse in LitePlacer. But you are right if you can delete the job step with non-placing components its faster than specifying the component in such a list. Result = forget the idea. Well before I come up with any proposals I have to build the machine and run the software and ...

We are at the start of a hopefully very creative project and I see there are some very motivated and gifted contributors already at work to enhance this IMO very exiting project. Juha has developed a good start basis and a hardware with lots of freedom for enhancements and new features. Taking a gla...

I already fixed the fiducial naming and - you are right - setting the LEDS values to their color will create two separate entries and tapes. I left many component values empty in the PCB design because they showed up in the silkscreen - which as you probably experienced yourself can give lots of ove...

Jarek,

could you please explain the benefits of displaying the PCB layout in your UI?

What actions can/must be done with this view?

@Malte: I tried the ULP and unfortunatly the ULP creates a Syntax-Error in Eagle 5.6.0. It seems the be in this line 46 B.elements(E) if (E.populate) { it works after changing it to: B.elements(E) { As far as I can see The CAD data look good except for: * the fiducials, which are not recognized due ...

That looks great Malte, I'll test drive your ulp right away. I have not been involved in creating ULPs yet although I have been using eagle since 2005. I had to create several parts (e.g. APDS 9960 and BMP180 / BME 280 MEMs, WS2812B LEDs) in an own Eagle parts library because of (still) using the le...

Hello, I just ordered a kit yesterday and started to get acquainted to the upcoming work by trying to prepare one of my current PCBs in the software "dry dock". As a full-time IT Pro using C# since 2008 and selling a productive CRM solution based on > 500.000 lines of C# code, I of course ...
