]]> Comment on Using Eagle3D to Generate Virtual Images by Alfredo http://www.ece101.com/2008/11/using-eagle3d-to-generate-virtual-images/comment-page-1/#comment-1655 Alfredo Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:05:47 +0000 http://www.ece101.com/index.php/?p=803#comment-1655 Hey, Chris! I'm new to using EAGLE. I noticed that when I want to add a component to my schematic using the library(ADD command), the library interface lists the part on the left and the schematic symbol on the right, along with the footprint image. Sometimes, I'm not sure if the part is of the correct type that I want (CAPs: electrolytic, ceramic, etc.) and isn't always easy to tell by the description or the package symbol. I think it would be 100 times cooler and more efficient if I could see the EAGLE 3D rendered image of the part next to the package/footprint image. Is there a way to change the code or create a ULP or some sort of plug-in to introduce this feature to EAGLE? I wouldn't mind being the guy to write the code for it, but give me some direction, please. I know some C#, basic html, and have an intermediate level understanding of object-oriented programming. Can we do this? Hey, Chris! I’m new to using EAGLE.

]]> Comment on Boot Alarm – Part 1: Introduction by Joshua http://www.ece101.com/2010/02/boot-alarm-part-1-introduction/comment-page-1/#comment-1653 Joshua Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:13:42 +0000 http://www.ece101.com/?p=1341#comment-1653 This is my fault for leaving out some of the requirements. A false positive is much worse than the boot actually getting stolen. The Seabee Lounge, where our weekly meetings are held, is fairly small (and ghetto), meaning the boot is in relatively close proximity to people. If it starts making sounds while one of the Captains is speaking, we'll probably get a pass the first time because it's a novelty. The second time and there'll be repercussions. But a less sensitive circuit (starting a couple of inches out), while not much of a deterrent, would be unbelievably cool. This is my fault for leaving out some of the requirements.

If anyone gets within a foot of the boot, you'll be able to detect it. You could also add a capacitive circuit since the sole of the boot is an insulator.

I like the idea because it is definitely another level of ECE geekiness. Unfortunately, it only stops someone from touching the rebar, the boot itself can be picked up from the soles and spirited away. I'm currently writing the next post on the brainstorming process and I'll definitely include this in there. If time/budget permits, maybe I'll include a Theremin circuit just for the coolness. Nice.

Too bad an overworked engineering student finds time to make tutorial videos for free but Cadsoft won't even though they make all the money. Thanks for the videos.

An oscillator attached to the rebar, and a small speaker would alert you with a nice squeal when anyone gets close to the boot.

Thanks...thanks... this inspires me to perhaps make some videos myself and pass the knowledge along.
