Orrrr. Immer noch kein #KiCAD 7 für #ArchLinux? Alles muss man händisch machen…
adlerweb // BitBastelei 2023-02-13 18:18:08
Mimimi. #KiCAD 7 schon über ¾Tag draußen und immer noch nicht im #Archlinux Repo? >_>
adlerweb // BitBastelei 2022-12-18 01:38:51
Me: *Installiert nach fast einem Jahr endlich mal #KiCad 6 auf dem Zweitrechner"
KiCad-Team 1 Stunde später: "Wir kündigen dann mal das Release-Datum für KiCad 7 an"
orrr.
BitBastelei #390 – Platinen-„Kunst“ mit KiCAD
(184 MB) 00:32:32
2020-06-21 10:00 🛈Platinen sind in den letzten Jahren sehr günstig geworden. Neben der eigentlichen Schaltung kann man durch geschickte Kombination der einzelnen Schichten auch Muster erzeugen und so die Platine künstlerisch aufwerten. Ich hatte ja bereits mit der „haxko-Eule“ etwas solches gezeigt, diesmal schauen nochmal genauer, wie man solche Muster erzeugen kann.

BitBastelei #368 – ESP LCD-Adapter
(391 MB) 00:11:11
2020-01-19 11:00 🛈Vor einiger Zeit hatte ich gezeigt wie man ein HD44780-Display mit Arduino an einen ESP8266 anbinden kann. Diese Konstruktion nutze ich noch immer um einen schnellen Überblick zu bekommen. Leider war die Verkabelung etwas wacklig, sodass ich immer wieder nachstecken und neu starten musste. Da noch etwas Platz in einem Paket war soll es nun dank KiCAD eine separate Platine richten. Kleine Arbeit, großer Stabilitätsgewinn.

2015-06-28 10:00 🛈Automatische Kicad BZR-Builds unter Gentoo
KiCad ist ein neuer, mächtiger Editor zum Entwurf von Schaltungen. Leider ist die letzte mehr-oder-weiniger-Stable, welche unter Gentoo im Portage-Tree verfügbar ist, von 2013 und lässt einige nette Funktionen vermissen. Wer mehr möchte greift üblicherweise direkt auf den Entwicklungszweig zurück, welcher in einem BZR-Repository bereitsteht. Für auf Debian und Redhat basierende Distributionen gibt es ein Installationsscript, welches sich um alle Voraussetzungen und den Build-Prozess kümmert. Für Gentoo stehen Ebuilds im Displacer-Overlay bereit. Da die Overlays bei mir nicht sauber funktionierten habe ich nebenbei™ das offizielle Script um die Gentoo-Deps erweitert. Nicht schön, aber macht das Leben leichter. Kompletter Code mit patchfile ist drüben bei gist verfügbar.
#!/bin/bash -e
# Install KiCad from source onto either:
# -> a Ubuntu/Debian/Mint or
# -> a Red Hat
# -> a Gentoo
# compatible linux system.
#
# The "install_prerequisites" step is the only "distro dependent" one. That step could be modified
# for other linux distros.
#
# There are 3 package groups in a KiCad install:
# 1) Compiled source code in the form of executable programs.
# 2) User manuals and other documentation typically as *.pdf files.
# 3) a) Schematic parts, b) layout footprints, and c) 3D models for footprints.
#
# To achieve 1) source is checked out from its repo and compiled by this script then executables
# are installed using CMake.
# To achieve 2) documentation is checked out from its repo and installed using CMake.
# TO achieve 3a) and 3c) they are checked out from their repos and installed using CMake.
# To achieve 3b) a global fp-lib-table is put into your home directory which points to
# http://github.com/KiCad. No actual footprints are installed locally, internet access is used
# during program operation to fetch footprints from github as if it was a remote drive in the cloud.
# If you want to install those same KiCad footprints locally, you may run a separate script
# named library-repos-install.sh found in this same directory. That script requires that "git" be on
# your system whereas this script does not. The footprints require some means to download them and
# bzr-git seems not up to the task. wget or curl would also work.
# Since bash is invoked with -e by the first line of this script, all the steps in this script
# must succeed otherwise bash will abort at the first non-zero error code. Therefore any script
# functions must be crafted to anticipate numerous conditions, such that no command fails unless it
# is a serious situation.
# Set where the 3 source trees will go, use a full path
