Re: Klondike - 16 chip ASIC Open Source Board

What file type are the electronic copies of the K16 in? Are they CAD files or Eagle PCB files? I suppose they are on Github but what program do I need to open them?

Grab KiCad and open klondike.pro

regarding KICAD - I had better experience with the version compiled from sources - this worked on Fedora 18:

# https://code.launchpad.net/~kicad-stable-committers/kicad/stable

mkdir kicad && cd kicad
bzr branch lp:kicad/stable # more than 220 MB, 10 minutes to get
cd stable

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DKICAD_STABLE_VERSION=20130528 . # wxWidgets and boost needed

make -j3 # around 10 minutes

make install # as root

/usr/local/bin/kicad # works

# /usr/local/share/doc/kicad , /usr/local/share/kicad
# fedora installs older, but useful kicad-doc, like /usr/share/doc/kicad/help/en/Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf

# ? https://github.com/Trump211/Eagle2Kicad
# decent 3D models there for many parts that could be used to render a 3D preview

Cool.

Nice. Gonna give that a try on OS X.

Thanks
