Re: Klondike - 16 chip ASIC Open Source Board

I really hope the next project is on Eagle. I really don't like Kicad much.

Maybe we could take up a collection to buy an Eagle license for Bkkcoins

A little more then $1,600 bucks for the full featured license...im sure the community can scrape together 16BTC.

I'm not a big fan of Kicad but the main reason I used it was so that anyone could edit and work with the files without having to buy a license of any sort. So I'm not really looking for a commercial version of Eagle. You have to remember that where I live I could have easily picked up Altium or Eagle for only a few $. Using Kicad was more a philosophical issue. Despite the troubles I had on the way I'm actually kind of impressed that it actually does work. I would change a bunch of things if I had the time and energy to contribute or fork the project - but I don't for now.

+1 for that BKK , in the end the Klondike design is opensource , you might as well use an opensource pcb router program to build it .

kicad took me allot of headace to get it working like i want , but once you get it right there is no going back to licensed Eagle , Same goed to windows after having to install ubuntu about 6 times over to get my screen working :p

Crowd Knowledge works best when not restricted , So opensource is the way of the future
