wpwrak: I've troubles with the make '-l' because I run boinc
<viric>
wolfspraul: yes, as wpwrak said, '-l'. Some like to combine -l and -j. You can also call 'nproc'... "make -j `nproc` -l `nproc`" :)
<wpwrak>
what's nproc ?
<wpwrak>
and what's boinc ? :)
<pabs3>
nproc returns the number of processors/cores/something

doesn't seem to be parametric -> of limited use
<whitequark>
it's the fork of QCad btw
<whitequark>
what do you mean by "parametric"?

can anyone suggest a good place to get 0603 resistor and capacitor sets?
<whitequark>
err I think I want E14

whitequark: parametric = you define dimensions as parameters you can later change, without manually redrawing things
<wpwrak>
this implies that the CAD also needs to record the logical structure of the construction
<viric>
oh there is a fork of qcad?
<viric>
great
<viric>
it was already hard to keep qcad building :)
<roh>
wpwrak: well.. depends... you can still manually move stuff around.. groups and 'parts' are in there i think
<wpwrak>
roh: manually moving things around is what i don't want to have to do ;-)
<viric>
there was a release of freecad recently
<wpwrak>
is freecad parametric ? or just scripted ? (scripted is sort of poor man's parametric)
<viric>
it was scripted, long ago
<wpwrak>
i guess i'll stick with fped as my "cad" for a bit longer then :) i'm a bit puzzled why people don't make proper parametric cads. if i can do it in what is a little byblow project, it can't be *that* hard ...
<pabs3>
this thing claims to be parametric (in the title): varkon.sourceforge.net
<viric>
hm I'll package those
<viric>
this last is last updated on 2009-02
<wpwrak>
hmm, i looked at it a while ago but found it too cryptic to use. not sure if it has gotten easier
<wpwrak>
almost three years .. then it's probably still cryptic :)

[commit] Werner Almesberger: m1/patches/rtems/fix-ftpd-root.patch: allow ftpd to start in /ssd/ (by Xiangfu Liu) (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/wernermisc/73b9b50
<jonand>
whitequark: there are 0603 resistor kits on ebay for $100 or so, in decent boxes
<jonand>
you could probably find even cheaper in plastic bags but I prefer boxes
<wpwrak>
fped generated postscript files. i they merged them into a pdf with a script
<viric>
ok
<wpwrak>
(labsw) i was too lazy to add measurements :)
<viric>
aha :)
<wpwrak>
they're kinda unnecessary on that case anyway :)
<viric>
how do you write measurements in fped?
<wpwrak>
you measure between the points, then set the offset (if any) of the measurement line
<wpwrak>
the distances come from parameters. the measurements only tell you what the end result is
<wpwrak>
measurements have a few quirks. e.g., you can't measure between arbitrary points. but it usually lets you measure between the points you need. (there are some tricks to improve that, but they're only accessible via the scripting language)

wpwrak: is it very different from metapost?
pabs3 [pabs3!~pabs@d175-38-172-205.per801.wa.optusnet.com.au] has joined #qi-hardware
<viric>
I used metapost for some kind of drawing similar to what you get with fped, I think
<viric>
I used it when I needed to draw series of black/write circular sectors, to calibrate a 33rpm long play player with a fluorescent tube
<viric>
(I just searched the image - I'm not giving that specific url for anything in particular)
<whitequark>
oh yes, I know that for ages
<wpwrak>
viric: metapost seems to be more drawing-oriented. fped focuses more on objects. plus, fped is designed such that you can have a GUI with functionality (well, almost) equivalent to the scripting language
<whitequark>
viric: works almost as well even if it's printed
<viric>
ah ok. no gui for metapost. But it's quite powerful
<viric>
whitequark: I know I know :)
<viric>
I had that in my cubicle wall for a long time :)
