Please log in for more thread options @virgin.net: Sounds interesting from a UI perspective. What about the back-end? Is it compatible with other EDA tools? Can I load the files into gEDA? | |||||||||||||

Ales Hvezda, the author of gnetlist is kindly offering to write a gnetlist backend to export the .XML format netlist files which Liquid PCB uses. Meanwhile, another kind soul is trying to compile Liquid PCB for Linux. I'll make the Makefiles and instructions available as soon as this happens. I hope to have Liquid PCB working with gEDA as soon as possible. Any contributions gratefully welcome. Hugo Elias | |||||||||||||

This sounds like "Rubberbanding to the nth power"

It certainly looks like an interesting experiment in both user interface and PCB style. Couldn't get it to do anything sadly, it just stuck in dragging a box and wouldn't respond to any icons. There doesn't seem to be anything in the libraries yet, and no example PCBs that I could find. | |||||||||||||
