Hi,
the topic is getting hot and I will order the first batch of Rev. 2 boards soon while I am working out a Kit/1-click-shopping-basket with assistance from a chip brooker. For better price calculation it would be helpful to know how many people are interested in a Kiwi. So please add your Name and the quantity you might want to get (without obligation yet).

Great!
When I am back from London I'll place an order for the PCB.

Hi Chris,
oh, sorry. I spent the last weekend to fiddle the needed dataformat. I can't just go the way I did before (by importing the layout data with GCPreView). Do you have gEDA installed?

Hi Simon,

Hi Chris,
hmm, I had the idea you could help with that. But after reconsidering I dissmissed that because it would be even harder for you. Just stay in contact. I'll get back on it on friday. Until then I am pretty busy. I just had the idea to follow the workflow from the first revision. I'll have to check, if GC Preview is able to export Gerber data as requested.
Btw. I found a program/script which could be used to convert the EhBASIC source code into GNU style. I haven't tried it yet, but it works for similar source code.
Regards
Simon

Hi Simon, no problem. If this is in response to my asking if the Gerbers are available then any 1:1 scale image would do I just wanted to work out where I could attach pin headers onto a daughterboard to mate up with points on the Kiwi board.

Cool! Where did you find it? Did you try it already?
