Perhaps we’re OK Dave. It’s just that the “Zuken” (whoever he/it is) is accusing the author of copyright infringement etc. It may be he will want Andrew to remove the link as well. Time to download it/use it, may be limited!!!

Long term plans for Board layouts I don't understand what the problem is ? The code is here http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder <http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder¶m=FreeRouting-net> ¶m=FreeRouting-net and works fine? It is actually easier to run locally then from their web site. Am I missing something?

This leaves us with a big problem making PC boards with KiCad. (Fortunately I happen to have the PC version here for my own use), but it opens up a general question as to how we do PC boards (S100 and others) in the future. Personally I'm having a hard time getting things done with KiCad. The PCBNew program seems (to me) very "finicy" in making files for Freerouter. I'm wondering what other people think about a more "All-in-one" PC CAD program. I once used a program called DipTrace (they have a free version for up to 500 pins to try it out). See here http://diptrace.com/. The thing that impressed me was the speed in which it converted the schematic into an actual board file and Gurber files. There was only one program, one interface. Personally I would spring for paying for the 1000 pin commercial version (or heigher) , I and perhaps others, could run batches for others. The main issue is that for any program we would have to build a library for the S100 connector, board dimensions and presumably a number of other things. I would be interested in hearing comments by others on a way to proceed. Has anybody else used CAD programs they like.
