So this way seems good for reviews without installing KiCad. Plotting all the sheets and then combining them into a PDF should do the trick. For color (set the path to schhist according to the directory structure on your system): PATH=$PATH:/home/qi/eda-tools/schhist cd board-m1/r4 rm *.ps eeschema --plot=ps --plot-sheetref m1.sch for n in *.ps; do normalizeschps $n _$n; done ../../eda-tools/schhist/schps2pdf -o m1r4.pdf -t _m1-_ _*.ps I've uploaded the result to http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/m1r4.pdf For printing, you get acceptable results with rm *.ps run eeschema and plot to A4. exit eeschema. lpr *.ps The pages are a bit shifted in the printing case but not a lot is lost. > I picked nRESET style for KiCad m1r4 sch now. :) Excellent ! > With C-friendly names did really save me suffer from some troubles while I > edited m1r4.

Need to nag Wolfgang a bit more ;-) > yes, if one discovers new problems or comments given. Yes ! :-) I had a quick glance. I found the isses below. Some are just questions of preference so you'll have to choose whether you want to do something about them or if you like things how they currently are: - DVH-ISingle.sch (D5), MiscControl.sch (D6-D13): including the package in the drawing makes the diodes look quite strange. Particularly the DMX diode circuit takes a while to decipher. Perhaps we could use a diode symbol with the pin numbers set to match the package, like it's done for Q1 or Q2. - a few fonts are a bit small: J17 on DVI-ISingle.sch (unreadable), U3 on Misc.sch (borderline, not sure if we want to change that one) - text very close to other things: - Audio.sch: 4V4 power symbol. The text touches the circle. In the other power symbols (3V3, etc.), there is a little gap. - Audio.sch: similarly, AUDIO_AGND overlaps slightly with the symbol. - Audio.sch: the AUDIO_AGND at the bottom, slighly right of the middle, is even off-center. - Audio.sch: the component reference of C4, etc., sits right on the "X". - USB*.sch: R136, R137, ... are very crowded. It would be better to move the resistor value above the symbols (like for DRAM) - USB*.sch: the text below the GND symbol on V1 is very close and looks as if it was part of the GND symbol. - MiscControl.sch (U4, U5), USB*.sch (U16, U26, ...) have the pin names touch the side of the symbol. There should be a small gap. Like, e.g., in U8. - some of the ground wires look a bit awkward - Audio.sch: J23 etc., perhaps just make the GND wire drop and cross the other signals, instead of making a loop. Similar to J1. - Audio.sch: J26 there, you could even just flip the component along the X axis, and then have ground point down and 3V3 point up. - Ethernet.sch: R174 would look better if you dragged nETH_RESET up and put the resistor (and GND) under it. - Audio.sch: TP5 is rotated without need. - EXPANSION_RESET.sch: the text above J21 would sound better as "Users [...] their [...]" instead of "User ... your ..." - FPGA_BANK3.sch: perhaps we should add a table for the revision codes, similar to what I've done in the lower left corner of http://projects.qi-hardware.com/schhist/labsw/pdf_head/labsw.pdf I like look of the new schematics a lot. They're so much cleaner than what we had before. Thanks and congratulations ! Once the style is done, the next step should then be a component by component comparison between the AD version and the KiCad version, to see if anything has changed by accident. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
