schematic drawing

@ Mat
Seems pretty good. Great work. I'm really amaze it's all done with paint. But one thing i don't understand in the proces...

I wrote the programs for them. (in picbasic pro).
It's a small library.

Hi Steve,

PicBasic Pro is not so powerful!

* * *

Step 1. Draw the schematic.
Step 2. Build the hardware.
Step 3. Write the software for the hardware.

Mat Janssen has written the software for the hardware depicted
in the attached schematic files with PicBasic Pro.

totally agree with you Luciano, steve is lost in the clouds. lols!

Hehe yeah i know Luciano... i was expecting a silly mistake somewhere.

YES sometimes, see often, i'm lost somewhere between earth and Planet LotypoJuarta where many of my Gyurositafm friends live.

Except few pink elephant around me now, i've no other mental problem

LOL!

@Mister_e. You forgot to quote the whole sentence. You took a part out of in and than you made the comment. Yust for fun?!
For you I will repeat it again so that you can understand it better.
I draw all my schema's in paint. I use a small librabry with componets.(transistor pnp and pnp, resistor, capacitor, elco, diode, opamp.)
Then with copy and paste you put the components on there places. Then draw the lines between the parts. Look if you made some mistakes. If so change them.
When eveything was ready. I build the circuits.

Then I start to write the software for the processors ant tested it for the working. This part I did with picbasic pro version 2.46 with the latest patch.
All the reciever functions are in the 16F628. By putting the F adres in the right position the software is for diferent AD converters, or 8 pwm outputs or 8 servo outputs or 8 digital outputs.
The data is sent via rs485 drivers, and has a baudrate of 250000 bits/sec.
It sents 64 packets of data. Each reciever looks if the data is meant for him, by looking at his start adres. If so, he puts the data, meant for him, at the outputs of the reciever.

I hope you understand this. If not, please tell us and I will try to tell it in another way.
Regards, Mat

I'm using Cadsoft EAGLE and I can really recommend it.

The Schematic editor does an ERC (Electrical Rule Check) for you.
(Means you are notified if you have connected two outputs to each other, left pins floating, etc.)

There is an Autoruter included in the Package that creates the PCB from the schematic.
The PCB is cross-checked with the schematic to make sure they match.
Last but not least the Schematic Editor does a DRC (Design Rule Check) to make sure your PCB is within the specs of your PCB Manufacturer.
(Trace width, Spaces, Drill Sizes etc.)

Attached is an example of a Board designed with EAGLE
(Can't post the schematic)

Hi, Ralf

My suite theoretically do not allow other things than paper prints ...

But try this : http://www.visagesoft.com/products/pdfreader/

gives superb pdf files ...as it's seen like a printer by the soft !!!

Hi Alain,

I'm not sure of what you are trying to tell me,
is it that you can''t open the attached image,
or is it that you would like to see the schematic in PDF format?

There is no technical Problem with exporting the schematic,
it simply is a copyright issue.
(I should have said "not allowed to" rather than "can't" post the schematic)

Anyway, thanks for the link.
