Re: [kicad-users] Re: Formal Checking Method for PCB Designs

2010-02-15 Thread Robert
 Here is one a bit more encompassing that covers schematic, PCB and 
 even system-level checks. These are out there on the web and I pulled
  together these two complete lists that are in the one DOC file.

There's some useful stuff in there.   I can see that the two could
perhaps be combined, but for the moment IMHO it would be sensible to 
have files on how to check designs together in one directory.   Are you 
able to save your file in my FormalCheckingMethod directory?   If so, 
I'll rename my directory to something more general.

 I do like the focused PCB one you posted.

Thank you.   My own goal was to create something that catches all the 
show-stoppers and some of the more annoying errors without creating 
something that is so long and complicated it never gets used.   However, 
as I was writing the guidance notes I realised it could do with links to 
more detail.

Regards,

Robert.

 As promised I've uploaded files relating to the formal checking method I 
 developed for checking the PCBs I design:
 
 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/files/FormalCheckingMethod/
 
 Although created using OpenOffice, I've uploaded the files in MS Office 
 97 format and HTML format to maximise their accessibility.   The HTML 
 version of the spreadsheet is a bit crummy, but it needs to be a totally 
 ubiquitous format that allows editing of tables and I can't think of 
 anything better for anyone who can't or wont open an old Microsoft 
 format file.
 
 So far it's proved effective, but I continue to develop it and I'm sure 
 others will have their own contributions based on their personal experience.
 
 I hope you find it helpful.

 Robert.
