Hi,

It is rather confusing. When I run = gsch2pcb project I get:

----------------------------------
Done processing.=C2=A0 Work perform= ed:
5 file elements and 0 m4 elements added to board.new.pcb.

Nex= t steps:
1.=C2=A0 Run pcb on your file board.pcb.
2.=C2=A0 From withi= n PCB, select "File -> Load layout data to paste buffer"
= =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 and select board.new.pcb to load the new footprints into= your existing layout.
3.=C2=A0 From within PCB, select "File ->= Load netlist file" and select
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 board.net to load the updated netlist.

4.=C2=A0 Fro= m within PCB, enter

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0= =C2=A0=C2=A0 :ExecuteFile(board.cmd)

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 to update th= e pin names of all footprints.

First it does not tally with the description given in the tutorial= - I am using the one that comes with Ubuntu.

<= /div>

Second, when I run pcb board.pcb I get only the tra= nsistor and the resistor on the screen with a yellow line leading nowhere. = Should'nt I get both one.sch and two.sch? If I folllow the instructions= above I add the one.sch to the screen all bundled up. Both one.sch and two= .sch appear to be OK.

As I say, I am confused.

Hi Torben-

Welcome to the community! Please feel free to post any qu= estions you may have.

I think the issue is tha= t the CONNECTOR is no longer an m4 element, so, it's not generating it = the way the tutorial thinks it should.

Lookin= g through the pcb element footprints, there is, however, a footprint "= CONNECTOR 1 2". I suspect that will serve for your purposes. Please tr= y changing "CONNECTOR 2 1" --> "CONNECTOR 1 2" and s= ee if that fixes it.

Thanks,

Hi,
This is my first attempt at using geda-help.
When in the Bill Wilson gEDA tutorial I use:

gsch2pcb project
I get the following message in the log:

CONN202: can't fin= d PCB element for footprint CONNECTOR-2-1 (value=3Dunknown).
So device C= ONN202 will not be in the layout.

The attributes of the connector ar= e.

device: BNC
footprint: CONNECTOR 2 1
refdes: CONN202
I think that I have followed the instructions, so what is wrong?
