Hi,
Sorry for the long time away.
I have been using the components you gave me and the picture now looks much more in line with the board I have made, the vertical components look much more realistic.
I have noticed that using veroboard tends to slow my computer down quite a bit? Each move tends to take a second or so?
If I try to resize the veroboard any addition I make ends up with veroboard that has the copper track on both the horizontal and vertical lines which I have to remove manually?
I am also using other components that are ‘side on’ such as tantalum capacitors from the core parts, has anyone made a parts list of these items from above?
see this
I tried to alter the voltage regulator in the power parts of the core section to a vertical but there is much more to it than I can grasp.
I tried going through the parts_editor_help.html
page but it changes tack so often I just kept getting lost.
I am surprised there isn’t a full list of items from above as this is usually how you see a lot of veroboards and pcbs laid out.
The PCB section shows the items clearer so I might try to use that, the problem is that the grid lines are very hard to see, is there any way of making the page look more like veroboard? I have altered the background to white so the components show up better but the grid almost disappears.
Bob.
