Eagle to KiCad conversion?

by John Stoffel

Guys, This is a total shot in the dark, but I'm wondering if anyone here has taken an Eagle project design, stripped out pretty much everything but the holes and outline of a board, and them imported it all into KiCad 5? I'm trying to build a cape for an AdaFruit Gemma M0 board (which I'll be happy to talk about at some point down the line at a meeting) where it auto-matically turns my sound bar on/off and the TV is turned on/off. Not more having to hunt for the sound bar remote! I've been vaguely beating my head against the wall here, esp since it's my first ever board design. Lots to learn! John

IMHO. Oh, I forgot one... It's easier for me to encrypt my IM sessions than it is to encrypt my phone conversations.

gettin' the Sparc Classic on the network...

by Sands Fish

Hello all, Settin' up the box I won at the last WLUG meeting. I wanna get it on the network here at work. When I watch the boot messages, I see "eth0 LANCE <mac address>" and "eth0 using auto-carrier-detection", but i don't see an entry for /dev/eth0 when i look there. I can ping the local loopback, but when I try to use DHCP in linuxconf to let it grab an address, but in ifconfig, i still only see the entry for the local loopback. Is there a different location for the eth0 device? Any hints? Anything would be appreciated. Thanx everyone. - Sands Fish - eCommerce - telecomNOW - sands(a)telecomnow.com

Re: [Wlug] Did anybody show up last night?

by The Hammer

Hi Tim, John and I were the only ones who showed that I know of. We stayed till about 7:15. I checked my email and the LUG website before I left (just in case). I understand that things sometimes happen, but found it amazing that only two of us showed.

Joel's Favorite Android Apps

by joel d

Hi everyone, First thanks being o.k. with my bringing my 5 year old on, Andrew to the last meeting. He does want to become a "Junior WLUG member". For that reason I did not contribute much to the android meeting. Below is a summary of my favorite apps, some were mentioned Wednesday and some were not. All are listed with a $ sign if they had a cost. I am a cheapskate so it had to be pretty good for me to fork some over. Thanks, Joel ============================================================== Favorite Android Apps Utilities: I leave these three running.... Llama (rules based phone control) Llama lets you define an "area" by the local cell phone tower ids You can then set logic based rules based upon location and/or time and/or ... Juice Defender Free Avast Antivirus USED DAILY: Swiftkey Keyboard $ 1.99 Aqua Mail Pro (for *all* e-mail accounts) $ 4.95 SugarSync - 5Gb of Cloud Sync (works like dropbox but sugarsync's android is better ) I sync hourly when on WIFI only. Sync documents and all cell photos with my desktop and laptop. Will do digital photos and also files! I use this for favorite PDF files of magazines, and owners manuals for complex items. PowerAmp (for playing MP3 and podcasts ) $3.99 10 band Equilizer is very handy for podcasts with hiss (just drop high and low frequencies down) Elixir2 (system info) Elixir2 Widgets (allowes more and smaller home page icons in widget) Elixir2 Personal Add On (smaller widget icon to include a contact person) DW Contacts and Phone and Dialer (this one does SO much, I mainly like the visuals on contacts & dialer) Astrid - Task list which syncs to website account Pocket - store web pages for later offline reading ConvertPad Convert units & currencies Bubble Find "Level" in multiple directions Brightest Flashlight RealCalc Sci Calculator UltraChron Stopwatch or Countdown Timer AlarmDroid Simple Alarmclock Librivox Download audiobooks from public domain (usu. 50+ years old) A cool app for kids stories (Aesop's, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland..) Networking/WIFI Stuff: Fing Wifi Analyzer (scan for WIFI) Speed Test FoxFi (create a portable hotspot) Buying Stuff: Amazon Shopping Ebay Paypal c.Mobile Craigslist Client Dolphin Browser (big & pretty browser & add ons) I sync my Firefox desktop favorites with xmarks. Handcent SMS - quick & easy text messages Allows customization of fonts and other item I like. YouTube - browser like for Youtube but better/smoother control aCalendar free - better interface, but still uses Android calendar data I sync aCalendar to my gmail calendar and use it for schedule. X-plore File Manager - handles files and photos locally X-plor also does dropbox/sugarsync/googledrive and ftp Once you get "files" to Android with SugarSync, I then need: Adobe PDF viewer Kingsoft Office very good office suite for viewing and editing Ham Radio & Radio Geek stuff: Repeater Book (listing of ham repeaters based upon your location) EchoLink (connect to radios & repeaters around the world via Internet) Scanner Radio (streams audio from scanners worldwide - incl Worcester F & P & EMS) Time Wasters / Games Kindle Flipboard - random news Plague Inc (like risk but you are trying to infect/kill world) Dead Trigger (FPS to shoot zombies) Andoku 2 (soduku app) Pandora stream generic music

Basically if the light goes green it's good. Also, it has spots to check voltages of your power supply. Eric
