• Re: IcyBoard 0.1.6 release

    I have zero PCB experience, but I DO have TONS of PCB mods/stuff on
    2oFB
    - I'll try to get it installed and maybe I'll just try throwing a
    bunch
    of legacy PCB code at it... will report if I do. :P


    Would help - esp. feedback. PCB was let's say a nightmare to install/get going. That was part of why it was so popular - high school kids thought they were cool when they could manage to install that crap :).

    Unfortunately icy board inherited that complexity - I tried to make it easier but it's still needed to understand the PCB system. Feedback from someone who never tried PCB would be interesting :).

    But probably ~500 pages of PCB documentation is missing. Maybe that'll be something that I need to work on. AGEGIS tried something like icy board back in the 90' - started with a decompiler, compiler and then tried to re create a modern PCBoard. They wrote lots of documentation about it - because it was needed. (They never finished or got it as far as icy board - internet killed it)

    I have no PCBoard experience, but love the mods for it... Night Rider's
    board is so fricking slick! I might take a look at this, but I'm not always the quickest...

    Ok - I'll try to do an install... but; is there legact PCB documentation that might help??? OR; is that somewhere I might be able to help with the project? I'm not a great coder - I know just enough to get me in trouble... but I am good at figuring out the 'hard' installs; maybe I can help w/ dox???

    OK - right. Well... I might not be good for +/- 500pgs - but I'll open vim and write down what worked for me???

    Not sure if when you close an issue, maybe you don't get notifications for it any more. So here's a bump for you to take a look at the most recent issue you closed, as it contains more information.

    Opening new issues always is better - but I'll look at it. ATM I'm busy at work. So it may take a while.
