I guess you haven't heard of Andy's Ascii circuits.

Mike.

Hi Pommie,

Thanks for posting...i was thinking of writing a program like this but never got
around to it. I'll try this version.

Would like to see your version too Junaid if you feel like posting a link.

Or the original...

MrAl · 5th November 2009, 08:28 AM

That is interesting too.
Here's an example of Andy's...

Code:



                 R1
                 ___
       .--------|___|------.
       |                   |
       |                   V  D1
      ---                  -
       -  5v               |
       |                   |
       |                  .-.
       |                  | |
       |                  | |  R2
       |                  '-'
       |                   |
       |                   |
       |                   |
       '----------+--------'
                  |
                 GND

Those ASCII schematics are horrible.
I use Microsoft Paint program to copy and paste pieces of datasheets or other shematics.

Here is a example of my schematics made with Microsoft Paint program:

MrDEB · 5th November 2009, 07:06 PM

in order to design a pcboard you need to enter the schematic into a pcboard design program.
I will have to try the cut n paste as it would save alot of editing schematics.

Mr RB · 6th November 2009, 10:21 AM

Has anyone tried one of those USB "smart pens" where you just draw on paper and it goes straight into your PC as an image?

I sometimes draw on paper and scan stuff but that's still a bit slow. I'm curious if anyone's tried one of those pens and if they are worth buying, i think they are about $50 or so, last time I saw one in the junkmail.

Pommie · 6th November 2009, 11:40 AM

We used the Wacom tablets with a pen and they were superb. You could sign your name and it came out perfect, try doing that with a mouse. These newer one seem to use a coded pad so the pen knows where it is and so I assume they would work as well as the Wacom tablets.

Are you sure you are getting the real thing for $50? The adds I've seen are more like $250.

Mike.

Mr RB · 6th November 2009, 03:48 PM

I wasn't really paying that much attention to the price Pommie, I think they had a storage one with IR comms + IR USB dongle for about $100 and a cheap one with a wire that plugs direct in the USB I remember being about $50.

I didn't want to lose the desk space required for a tablet as just a pen takes up a LOT less space on my already cluttered PC desk.
